Only Yesterday

1991・Japan・119 minutes

Taeko, a 27-year-old office worker, begins to question her lifestyle and its meaning. Unable to find an answer, she sets off alone on a 10-day journey. Along the way, memories from her fifth-grade days suddenly resurface in her mind, accompanying her to Yamagata. During her stay, Taeko opens her heart to the countryside’s scenery and interacts warmly with the locals, gradually discovering her true self. Nostalgic recollections and daily encounters with others help her reconnect with what is most precious in life.
