Synopsis
Three sisters – Sachi, Yoshino and Chika – live together in a large house in the city of Kamakura. When their father – absent from the family home for the last 15 years – dies, they travel to the countryside for his funeral, and meet their shy teenage half-sister. Bonding quickly with the orphaned Suzu, they invite her to live with them. Suzu eagerly agrees, and a new life of joyful discovery begins for the four siblings…
Thoughts
Going in, I though: “This is not my sort of film”. I came out thinking: “I stand corrected”. Our Little Sister is an absolute delight, that will have you leaving the theatre feeling good about the world – a rare feet in this day and age.
