Leave the Cat Alone 2026

Directed by Daisuke Shigaya

Mori, a musician struggling with the distance between himself and his wife Maiko, a photographer, has an unexpected reunion with his former friend Asako. This encounter rekindles a love that had long since passed between them. However, their memories diverge, and recollections colored by expectations and desires emerge blurred, distorted, and conveniently rewritten within each of them. And at the end of a long walk, Mori and Asako come to reexamine their two lives that have already strayed from their paths, and the present moment where each of them now stands.
