Around the Table
A short web drama series produced by a Scandinavian life style website now becomes a feature film!
STORY
We eat at the same table, then we are a family.
Haruko’s “family” is a bit different from others. She is a single mother and lives with her son Riku, her friend Meiko and Meiko’s boyfriend Sorao. One day, she gets a text from her old friend, Tomoko, asking Haruko to let stay her daughter Yuko during the summer school. Haruko and Tomoko had a big fight decades ago, and they have never spoken since then. While Yuko tries to find herself and enjoy her youth, Haruko decides to meet her friend Tomoko to settle the past.
