NTV has posted a trailer for Kana Matsumoto’s Mother Water, a new film featuring many of the same cast and staff from “Kamome Diner”, “Megane”, and “Pool”.

The film is set in Kyoto, and the title is a reference to the city’s large river and many waterways. In keeping with that theme, the story revolves around three women for whom water is of prime importance. Hatsumi (Mikako Ichikawa) makes and sells tofu, Takako (Kyoko Koizumi) opens a coffee shop, and Setsuko (Satomi Kobayashi) owns a whiskey bar. Like the water of Kyoto, the three women have a subtle but important impact on the people around them. Ken Mitsuishi and Ryo Kase also star as a public bath owner and furniture salesman, respectively.

The film marks the first time former classmates Koizumi and Kobayashi have acted in a movie together.

“Mother Water” will open at Cine Switch Ginza and Shinjuku Piccadilly on October 30. 2010 with a national release to follow.
