Hinata

The story

This mystery film, directed and conceived by Yukihiko Tsutsumi, features 20 up-and-coming actors. Written by Yusuke Moriguchi ("Beautiful Dreamer," "Kohaku"), the film unfolds at the funeral of a person named "Hinata Okimura," depicting a deepening mystery as the eulogies of the 20 attendees contradict each other, unfolding in an unpredictable manner. Twenty men and women attend Hinata Okimura's funeral. According to the deceased's wishes, all attendees must deliver a eulogy. Standing before an unusual altar without a portrait, some speak as friends, others as devoted fans, and still others as fellow members of an idol group, each beginning to recount their memories of the deceased. However, the image of "Hinata Okimura" becomes increasingly distorted, even differing in gender from the person they describe, plunging the funeral into chaos.
