Thou’lt Look Back No More, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never 2021

Directed by Takushi Ueta

Young Shihio once unsuccessfully auditioned for a film role. She has long since buried her dream of becoming an actress when, seven years later, she surprisingly gets a second chance. The director of yesteryear has not forgotten her and now desperately wants to cast her in his new film. What does he see in the young woman? A talent for acting? A vulnerable soul? Something true? Shihio's everyday life is marked by routine. Lonely, she lives with or rather next to her boyfriend in a small flat. Who is she anyway? What is her true self? Or is she merely a vessel into which the director can pour his idea of her?
