Dreaming in Between

Mr. Shuhei, a high school vice principal, is taken aback when, a year before retirement, he is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. The prognosis forces him to reexamine his life, relationships, and routines. Ryûtarô Ninomiya film looks at a man who is neither young nor perfect, trying to mend what little is left of his life. With a dash of patience and a tremendous performance by Ken Mitsuishi, this is "a beautiful, quiet film which will affect you as much with what is not said as what is" (Cork FF).
