Okay, it’s becoming pretty evident that the Japanese film industry won’t rest until we’re all curled up in the fetal position crying our eyes out. There seems to be no end in sight for the recent wave of tearjerkers, and Shin Togashi’s Ano Sora wa Oboeteru is apparently the mother of them all. Based on the Janet Lee Carey novel “Wenny Has Wings”, the movie is about a happy family whose world is turned upside-down when an accident injures their son severely and kills their daughter.

The son is left with survivor guilt and his parents, played by Yutaka Takenouchi and Miki Mizuno, don’t quite know how to deal with the tragedy and move on as a normal family again. Meanwhile, the son can’t find a way to tell his parents about the near death experience he had in the moments following the accident and is forced to deal with it in his own way.

The film will be released on April 26th.
