Farewell to the Land (1982)
MOVIE
Yukio, a former farmer turned dump-truck driver in Kashima, grapples with profound grief after losing his two young sons, whose names he bears as tattoos on his back as a form of atonement. Struggling with addiction to amphetamines, he finds himself isolated from his family and peers. A simmering rivalry with his younger brother, who embodies a more sophisticated life in Tokyo, exacerbates his loneliness and disconnection. As Yukio navigates his troubled existence, the weight of his past and familial tensions create a poignant exploration of loss and estrangement.
