Kakurenbo

2009 · 26 min · ★ 4.0

A young man who struggles with depression and desperately fears being alone with his own thoughts. After encouragement from his doctor, he finds himself in Japan- a promising hiding place from the life of busyness and pressure he faces back home. While in Japan, he discovers being found by himself and by others is not the fearful thing he first believed. This is the story of Kakurembo. This is the story of 'Hide and Seek.'

Directed by John H. Ladue Jr. · Written by Yû Shibuya
