About the film

Dir. Naoko Yamada | Anime/Family/Drama/Music | 1h 41m | 2024

Totsuko is a high school student with the ability to see the ‘colours’ of others. Colours of bliss, excitement, and serenity, plus a color she treasures as her favourite. Kimi, a classmate at her school, gives off the most beautiful colour of all. Although she doesn’t play an instrument, Totsuko forms a band with Kimi and Rui, a quiet music enthusiast they meet at a used bookstore in a far corner of town. As they practice at an old church on a remote island, music brings them together, forming friendships and stirring affections. Will they discover their true ‘colours’?

Director Bio

Naoko Yamada made her debut as a director in 2008 after being selected to direct the TV series K-On! (2009 – 2010). The series became a nationwide sensation and, in 2011, she helmed her first feature with the film version of K-On!. Her follow-up directorial features Tamako Market (2014) and A Silent Voice (2016) were hits too, with the latter winning the Japan Academy Prize for Excellent Animation of the Year. Yamada is one of the most highly acclaimed female directors in the Japanese animation industry.

★ Face painting by Dina Belaia: When Dina paints on human faces, she uses the safest cosmetic supplies. Being a fine artist and a mother allows her to combine art skills with understanding the young models, which makes her face painting truly special.
