Ten years ago, the brother of the then seven year old Shun disappeared without a trace. Today, every member of the family, Shun, his father and mother, lives with the trauma and deals with the loss in their own way.
Shara is a movie with an intimate knowledge of grief: it understands how it never really goes away but stays with you like background noise, sometimes inaudible, sometimes shattering.
It's a slow film and director Kawase takes time to let her camera linger on these characters going through their daily routines, but the viewer's patience is rewarded with a festival scene which is beautiful, sublime and extremely moving.
