Yokohama Monogatari (2013)

Set in Yokohama, Kanagawa, the film revolves around a young woman facing the harsh realities of life and a man dealing with loneliness and despair after the death of his wife. Nanami Matsuura, a 25-year-old who was raised in an orphanage after losing both parents in middle school. She’s the manager of an amateur band, but makes hardly any money and can’t afford to pay her rent. Meanwhile, a 65-year-old man named Yoshinori Tanabe who spent 40 years working as greens-keeper of a soccer stadium, only to lose his wife to a terminal illness on the day of his retirement. When these two people meet by chance, Nanami ends up stumbling into an odd living arrangement which has her moving into Tanabe’s home. Without consulting Tanabe, Nanami fills the remaining empty rooms by inviting several more people to move in: a single mother named Aoi and her 5-year old son, a frustrated real estate worker named Asako, and an unemployed woman from Osaka.
