Director Ise Shinichi’s peerless documentary lovingly chronicles 35 years of his niece Nao’s life with her older brother, parents, and friends. Because of a disability, doctors did not expect Nao to live more than 20 years. Shinichi documents the unexpected steps of her story, from when Nao was 8 to the present, with a keen eye for gestures and astrong sense of rhythm. The film moves beyond mere advocacy to create a complex, moving portrait of the manifold ways each member of a family affects the others. After years of being taken care of through bouts of epilepsy, Nao ends up encouraging and supporting her own mother, ending an uplifting film that advocates for us all to find our own ways to flourish.
