Haru to Midori

At thirty-one years old, Midori struggles deeply with human connection and feels entirely adrift in life, unable to find a place where she truly belongs. Her quiet sense of displacement is brought into sharp focus when she attends the funeral of Tsugumi, a close friend from her junior high school days. Overwhelmed by grief and unable to let go of the memories they shared, Midori finds herself haunted by the loss. In the wake of the funeral, she experiences a startling vision: the young version of her departed friend appears standing above her. However, this figure is not a ghost from the past. It is Haruko, Tsugumi’s daughter, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the girl Midori once knew so well. This unexpected encounter bridges the gap between memory and reality, drawing Midori into the life of a child left behind. What follows is a poignant exploration of two lost souls finding solace in one another. Bound by grief and an unlikely resemblance, a woman searching for her purpose and a young girl navigating the world without her mother begin to forge a profound and healing relationship.
