A clip from the film "Distant Mountain Light" (directed by Kei Ishikawa, set for release on September 5th), starring actress Suzu Hirose, has been released. The clip captures an important conversation that marks the beginning of the film's story, in which Niki (Camilla Aiko), a daughter, begs her mother Etsuko (Yoshida Yo) at their home in England to tell her stories about Nagasaki that she has never heard before.

The film is based on the novel of the same name by Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro. Set in Nagasaki in the 1950s and Britain in the 1980s, it is a human mystery that delves into the secrets of the memories of Etsuko (Hirose), a woman who experienced the atomic bomb. The film was officially selected for the festival's "Un Certain Regard" category.

Niki has a Japanese mother and a British father. She dropped out of university to become a writer, and wanted to write a work based on the life of her mother, Etsuko, who experienced the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, moved to England after the war, and lost her eldest daughter, who shared her joys and sorrows with her. Etsuko begins to talk about memories from the past that she had kept silent about after being broken by her younger sister. It was a memory of a summer spent with a woman named Sachiko and her young daughter, whom she met in Nagasaki shortly after the war. However, Niki gradually begins to notice discrepancies in the story... This is the story.

Hirose plays Etsuko in Nagasaki, Nikaido Fumi plays Sachiko, Yoshida plays Etsuko in England, Kohei Matsushita plays Etsuko's husband, and Miura Tomokazu plays his father.
