SEE YOU TOMORROW

Okay, let's eat.

Nao?

I'm not hungry right now.

Can I start? - Yes.

Yes, look into the lens.

It looks good.

It's good.

Look at me again.

Thank you very much.

Are they good? - Yes, excellent.

Excellent?

They're warm.

Thanks.

Are they good?

For Dad. - Okay, for Dad.

How kind of you. - It's normal.

Another one?

She's eating too.

I feel sorry for Dad.

Press this button.

Frame me.

Come on, everyone together.

Nine is too many.

Closer.

Come here.

How was it? - Not great.

Really? - Thanks.

Do you live nearby?

No, this is my first time around here.

You seem to be enjoying yourself.

Really?

Yes, you look happy.

I'm impressed.

Hi, Nao.

Hi. - Welcome back.

Are you staying with us again?

May I? - Of course.

What brings you here?

You can stay.

What? It's all the same to me.

Thanks.

My sister is inside.

I'm home. - Hi. - I'm back.

Huh? Are you still running away from home?

No, I'm independent.

You ran away from home.

Are you two together?

Masaru, tell me.

We're just classmates.

Are you having dinner with us, Nao?

Yes, I'd love to. May I?

What?! Still the stew?

I don't want to hear any complaints.

Leaving already?

Yeah, I'm going to work.

Take care. - Thanks. Bye.

Bye.

Did your father go out?

Yes, he works part-time at a pub.

Does he work at night too?

Yes.

Ever since Mom died, he's barely ever home.

I see.

Did you tell him you wanted to work at a photography studio in Tokyo?

Yes, I told him.

What did he say?

To do what I want.

Weren't you supposed to be at Sayo's place tonight?

Did you bring clothes? You can't wear mine.

I can't relax there. It's too clean and tidy.

You mean it's not clean and tidy here?

I never said that. - Yes, you did.

I feel comfortable here.

Very comfortable.

Your mother will be worried.

No, she won't.

Maybe she's even happy you're gone.

She's just hiding her feelings. She'll definitely be worried.

You think so?

Yes. She's still your mother.

One day, you and your mother will get along.

Yamada.

Let's take some pictures.

Pictures of what?

Anything.

Stand over there.

Ten seconds.

One more.

And what's this?

Are we starting to leave?

Nao.

Do you like me?

Um... I don't know.

You don't know?

But, well...

I love you.

When I leave home...

Dad will be alone.

Is it good? - It's delicious.

Why is your skin so pale?

I use sunscreen.

Really? I'm so jealous.

Look how dark you are. - You're the one who's too pale.

Hi.

Let's eat curry.

How wonderful!

Perfect timing. I was starving.

It feels so good.

You don't turn off notifications?

Yeah, but sometimes they call me for work.

It must be tough managing 20,000 followers.

I have some news.

Yesterday I got a job as an assistant.

The one you were aiming for?

Yeah. - So you're going to Tokyo?

Yes, I'm going to Tokyo.

Fantastic. Congratulations!

Good news. Unfortunately for you, I'll be in Tokyo too.

So you're going?

And your father's firm?

Lately, I've been talking to him about taking over his firm.

But he got angry with me.

Why?

He says I'm too lazy.

Your father is great.

He shows his affection that way.

He's a good father.

Yamada... - You'll be Matsushige's assistant?

Yes.

That's great. Though it'll be tough.

And you, Nao?

What will you do?

You want to study with a photographer?

I couldn't be an assistant.

You couldn't?

No, it's that you don't want to.

I wouldn't mind.

But do you really think I could do it?

No, you're right.

I can only become a photographer.

Hello, Prof. Kitano.

Not having lunch today?

What? Yes, right.

He's always in the clouds.

Are you talking about me?

No, Soma said that.

Guess who's not graduating? - That's abuse of power.

And you're academically bullying. You're the bullies.

That's not true. We adore you, Professor.

Liar.

Quiet and eat. Finish your homework.

Let me try.

You spilled everything.

Do you have anything?

You mean like tissues?

What a mess.

Stop making gestures.

This is better.

Yes, much better.

Where are you from?

I'm from Tokyo.

I'm from Chiba. - Oh, Chiba?

They're close.

That's true.

Let's forget it.

You're creeping me out. Let's go.

What a weirdo.

Come on, run!

Hey, Sayo!

No class today?

I skipped them. - Really?

Wait, stand over there.

A little further back.

Why? - You're my model.

Be natural.

Wow! This photo is so cute.

This one too.

Look here. Beautiful.

I saw this one on social media.

Minori, the Professor is about to arrive.

This one too. I can't pick the best one.

Sorry I'm late. - Oh, Professor.

Hello. - And you, why are you here?

To watch and learn.

I see.

Don't stand so close to me.

Why not?

I want to learn how to judge.

You can do that from afar, too.

Come on, move over.

She's very beautiful, isn't she?

No?

But she was so beautiful.

Can you be quiet?

Where is Professor Kitano?

Hello.

So many emotional photos.

In my classes, that adjective is forbidden.

I apologize.

How beautiful.

Yes, you've improved.

Okay.

But it's not enough.

I already told you that.

We need more photos to get the message across.

Next time, you need to take more.

So, still not enough?

No, not yet.

That's my opinion. What do you think?

I agree with her.

Ok, give it your all.

I understand. Thanks a lot.

Soma, do you need anything?

Yes.

You'll have to wait a moment.

No problem.

Hey, Tada.

Why are you here?

I skipped history class.

Really?

What does that mean?

If you keep skipping class, you'll end up like me.

That would be a disgrace.

Right?

Professor Kitano really likes Nao, doesn't he?

Yeah? But...

Everyone likes her style.

I prefer Sayo's shots.

You don't like Nao, do you?

It's not that, it's just that she scares me.

Really?

Are you scared of Nao?

She's not scary.

Maybe you don't understand her, Tada.

Let's go to the convenience store. I'm thirsty.

Okay.

See you later, Sayo.

See you. - Bye.

Buy me something. - Alright.

Where?

The University of the Arts Berlin campus.

Do you want a letter of recommendation?

It's hard to get in there.

I know.

But I want to go to Berlin.

That's what I want.

Okay, I get it.

Did you tell your mother? You have to tell her.

This one.

This one too.

There's so much to do.

Hi, good morning.

Good morning.

You're up early.

I live far from here.

Are you going home?

Yes, I'm going to see my son.

That must be tough.

Have some tea.

My brother's been in a good mood lately.

Really?

It's thanks to you, Nao.

Take care of him.

Okay, see you next time.

Have a good day. - Bye.

Tell her Yamada is here.

Yes, who is it?

It's Yamada.

Yamada?

Yamada who?

Well...

Wait a moment.

Good morning.

You are...?

Come on, let's go.

I'm sorry.

My mom and I don't get along.

No, I'm the one who should apologize.

I'm pathetic.

You're a good kid.

I love you.

No. - Yes, what is it?

Are you going to study in Berlin?

It's not decided yet.

Who told you that?

I'm on good terms with the professor.

I asked him not to tell anyone.

Why keep it a secret? He said it's likely.

There's also a scholarship, you can rest easy.

Really? I'd be happy.

The university rarely funds studies abroad.

Yes.

If it's confirmed, I'll tell the others.

What is it?

Rotate that light.

Turn it clockwise.

More... more.

Begin.

Thank you, everyone.

Thanks. Call me if you need anything.

I'll give you a ride. - You can? Thanks so much.

Why aren't they greeting us?

I hate them.

It's okay. They've been through it too.

Hey, Yamada.

You only say positive things.

It's irritating.

You know, Sayo.

You're honest with me.

What do you mean?

You never show your anger in front of others.

Stop it.

You're annoying.

Sayo.

What is it? - Stand over there.

Now?

Come on, do it.

Don't pose.

Okay.

Look here.

Don't overthink it.

Think about a good curry.

Curry?

Now think about your cat.

Is your mom okay?

Yes, she's fine.

My mother died 4 years ago.

I'm with Nao now.

I didn't know that.

Is it a secret?

Nao says she loves me.

But I think she just pities me.

If she goes to Germany, I think we'll break up.

It's not a given that she'll go.

Yes, but it's likely.

Why would you have to break up?

That's how she feels and I think it's for the best.

I hate it when you do that.

You can keep them.

You're a good photographer.

Do you like my work or Nao's better?

I like both.

Now you're showing your kind side.

You and Kitano are both annoying.

Nao's photos are more impactful.

You think so?

Sayo, don't lie.

Nao never lies.

Is that a photo of Nao?

See? You recognize her shots right away.

That's why I'm quitting.

Quitting what?

Photography.

Quitting?

Not the world of photography. Just taking pictures.

What do you mean?

I'll be someone's assistant, maybe do some editing work.

You need to walk more.

More?

Yes, more.

I already walk a lot.

I know.

I need to walk more?

I have nothing else to add.

I understand.

What is it?

Sayo?

Professor?

Sayo? What are you doing here?

I live nearby.

Really?

Thanks.

It's a nice place. Not too many people.

Here.

Oh, wait.

You're not a minor, are you?

I'm a senior, right?

You're a fourth-year, aren't you.

He always carries one with him.

A what?

Disposable cameras.

They're more like targets attached to a roll of film.

That's why I like them.

They're perfect.

There are many kinds of photos.

I'm envious.

I'm envious of Nao.

I wasn't as determined as her.

Damn! I'm so envious of her.

Damn! I envy her so much.

I'm envious of you too.

Liar.

Can we come in?

I've already exhibited here, I can come whenever I want.

Really?

Absolutely.

Done. Come on in.

Nao.

What do you think of my graduation project?

I'd say...

you seem undecided.

I am undecided.

Yes, you seem undecided. It's like...

there's a long-standing suffering.

A suffering...?

Well...

it's like...

Sorry.

You don't have to apologize.

Sorry.

Hello? Tell me everything.

Oh, yes.

Really?

There's a reason I take photographs.

Thank you so much.

Yes, yes, bye.

Thank you very much.

Did you get in?

Did they take you in Berlin? Congratulations.

I have to go.

Sorry. Let's do it another time.

Yamada!

Let's take a walk.

Hey, Yamada.

They took me... - ...in Berlin?

I'll use this camera to beat all my classmates.

For you, photography is a martial art.

Are we breaking up?

Is that why you're here?

If I don't speak, I'll start crying.

Idiot.

Nao.

You said you loved me, right?

Is that true?

Yes, maybe.

Maybe? Honest and cruel.

But you know...

I still love you.

Amazing.

You're ruthless.

Four years later, Tokyo

Good morning.

Hey, Yamada.

Thanks for the snacks.

Were they enough?

Yes, there were plenty.

How's freelance photography? Do you take a lot of pictures?

Not at all. I just work as an assistant.

That's a shame. I like your work.

Really? Have I ever shown you anything?

I found your social media profile.

Oh, no! That's an old account.

How embarrassing.

You should do more.

I want to see your shots.

And you? Are you getting used to the job?

Of course.

My only talent is being affable.

It seems Nao Soma will be returning to Japan this year.

Oh, really?

You didn't know?

She's holding an exhibition.

That's amazing.

Yes, it is.

She might use our studio.

In that case, they'll definitely call you.

Yeah, who knows.

We've already put you on the schedule.

Already?

Sasaki did it. Who else?

Six months later

Thanks.

Excuse me. - Hey, Nao.

You're late. - It's not my fault, the plane was delayed.

I would have left the day before.

Nao's here. - Sorry.

It's been a while.

Thanks for coming.

Thank you.

Thank you for inviting me to this special day.

We coordinated the date based on your exhibition.

Really? Sorry for the inconvenience.

No inconvenience at all.

I always check out your work.

Thanks.

You live in Germany now, right?

Now that Nao's here, let's make a toast.

Ready?

To Tada and Minori, best wishes for your future.

Cheers!

And then...

next year, we'll take over my father's photo studio.

So in six months, we'll be leaving Tokyo.

That's why...

Come on!

So we're counting on your support!

Another toast!

Cheers!

Cheers! - Enjoy the party. Cheers.

Thanks.

Hey, Tada.

Is Nouchi here too? - Nouchi?

Him over there.

Yes, Yuki Nouchi.

Who's that?

An old colleague of mine.

What?

We were assistants for the same photographer.

I quit after an argument with the boss. So I'd rather avoid him.

You argued?

Yeah. - Seriously?

That's not like you.

Should I bring him here?

Stop!

It's in the past. I'm fine now.

It was to be expected that Yamada wouldn't come.

Yes, he's not there.

But his father never contacted us, so he's still alive.

You went to see him, didn't you?

But he wasn't there.

I see.

I'm sure he's fine.

I think he's just taking a break.

That'll be it.

Can you hear me?

Yes, Professor. We can hear you.

You're the first couple from my class to get married.

Tada and Noguchi, congratulations.

Thank you very much.

But why Tokyo? Were you trying to exclude me?

No. You'll come to Nao's exhibition, right?

Yes, I was thinking about it.

Please do. There'll be a photo of you there too.

Really? Which photo?

The one where you're staring into space.

Then I'll come... just to tear up that photo.

We're happy to see you well.

I know you're doing well too.

Hey. - What's up?

Let's go to Yamada's next week.

But he's not there, is he?

Let's go anyway.

Hey, Tada.

He says you're a lovely couple. - Really? I'm glad to hear that.

Your father's studio will be in good hands.

Absolutely.

So, this is the height?

Yes. For balance.

So it's the right height.

Can it be adjusted a little?

We have to wait for the photos to arrive.

Good morning. - Thank you very much.

These are the frames.

Is this okay? - Great. Thanks.

Nao Soma Solo Exhibition

Yamada?

It's not here.

From here?

Are you serious?

We can go through here.

Is this his house? - I'm not sure.

It's open.

We shouldn't do this.

Are you sure?

Of course.

It's open.

The side door.

No, Tada, don't.

Excuse me.

Who are you?

Yamada?

Tada?

You scared me.

Tada...

We were worried about you.

What's going on? Yamada!

Yamada, come back!

The shoes!

He's here.

Yamada?

Yamada!

Hey?

He's here.

We found him.

Yamada? Where is he now?

Where are you, Nao? - By the river.

Yamada! Stop!

Nao!

Yamada.

Come back here! Stop.

What's wrong?

You're all here.

Why?

So you're still alive, huh?

Why did you disappear?

What's going on?

Well...

Sorry.

I haven't been in touch.

I should have done that much sooner.

Tada, be quiet.

Isn't that why?

Then why?

There's no real reason.

It's for Nao.

I didn't want to see her again.

You were working on the studio, right?

Yeah, I had to finish some things.

But I quit.

At first, I was happy to hear about your successes.

To know you were doing well.

Then I started feeling ashamed of myself.

Why?

It reminded me of how depressed I was back then.

I was ashamed of myself.

I was thinking of a thousand things and stopped responding to anyone.

And that's how I ended up.

So it's Nao's fault?

No. I'm just a social outcast, I isolate myself from the world.

I feel ashamed and embarrassed, I keep my distance from everyone.

I apologize.

I'm sorry.

There's no hope for me.

Yamada.

What is it?

We love you, as always.

Stop it.

We're all back together now.

Let's walk and go somewhere.

How about Shibuya?

Why?

I don't like Shibuya.

To be honest, I hate it. - I get that.

Why?

But hanging out with you guys might be fun.

To be honest, Shibuya...

I don't like it either.

I've never been, but I'd go.

Yamada.

What is it?

There's a photo of you at the exhibition.

Forgive me.

I don't know why, but I had a feeling.

You're truly merciless.

What? Is it this way?

Yes. - How long will it take?

We have to walk a bit. - Oh, okay.
