Mio, come here.

Don't worry.

I think I was 20 years old, just as you are now...

when I moved here.

I don't wanna go.

Can you handle things here on your own?

Eyes for seeing.

Ears for hearing.

They're all you need.

Come on, pull yourself together.

Whoo!

They'll pick you up at nine, so get ready.

Okay.

Come on.

[ Notice: My grandfather, father, and I have operated this inn for 80 years,

but it has become difficult to continue due to my illness, so we will be closing down.

Thank you so much for all your support over these years - Miyagawa Inn, Owner ]

I think they're coming soon.

To be honest, it feels like a huge weight off my shoulders.

I feel a bit bad for Mio...

but it's a good opportunity, too.

Staying in a countryside like this forever won't do her any good.

Ms. Miyagawa! The staff from Kitashinano Hospital is here!

Got it!

Sorry, I have to hang up.

Hello.

Thanks for coming.

Sure.

She might cause a lot of trouble. She's got quite a personality.

I'm sure she'll be fine.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues.

Mom!

Go get her, Mio.

Sorry for making you wait.

Your aunt is so impatient like me...

This is Bocho Yamamura's poem.

The light is in my hand.

My favorite poem.

It's yours.

Oh, thanks.

It's a sunny day, - Yeah.

The train is arrving soon.

It's here.

- That's yours.

Maybe my baby is already born when you return the next time.

Really?

Take care of Kina.

Don't forget to always lock your door.

Okay.

See you.

The light is in my hand.

It is in my grasp now, and always will be.

But I wonder from time to time.

When I unclench my fist...

...would it be empty?

What would I do if it's empty?

Ethiopian restaurant, please come.

Excuse me.

I want to go here.

Please come here to eat.

It's very delicious.

Um...

Mio... You look nothing like your father.

Kuniko told me about you.

Aren't you coming in?

[ Shinko Bath ]

There's an old lady at the reception...

Her daughter comes to buy passes every month.

I know all my customers.

Your room is upstairs.

Go up from there.

It's yours until you find a job.

Thank you.

I like her eyes.

Eyes?

You like eyes like that?

Yeah, and I like her voices too, I mean...

Yeah? Like not too high-pitched?

I like shorter hairstyle.

Really?

Oh, really?

I've never heard that before.

No! That's...

- That's because you're immature.

Unethical! That's unethical!

What do you mean by that?

That's an unethical relationship.

- Why? It's normal.

Is everyone like that?

Huh?

It's already closed.

Did you come for a bath?

Want me to ask the old man?

Kyosuke! There's a customer.

Come in.

The drinks are over there. Pick one you like.

They might be past expiry date, though.

What? Just throw them away!

Hurry up if you're going in, or he'll have an excuse to not clean tonight.

My turn? I'm confused.

How about this?

What's the problem?

What's this?

Excuse me...

I'll be living here from now on.

What?!

Huh?

When did you pick up such a young girl?

How did he trick you?

I know!

You must be his daughter.

You had a secret child?

She's the daughter of an old friend.

I was asked to take care of her until she finds a job.

So...

Are you going in?

Okay... then...

It's cold outside. Come in.

Hurry up, it's your move...

I guess...

you'll start from 985 yen per hour.

The first two weeks are probationary period.

Basically, you'll be joining as a trainee.

Thank you.

I'll show you the storage room later.

How long did you work with your mother?

I think she worked for about 15 years.

15 years? I see.

She passed away when she was 96.

Wow, she lived a long life.

Yeah, you could say that.

You're really healthy, too.

No, I'm no good.

Really?

Yeah.

You look good.

I'm very old.

Oh, excuse me.

Mio!

Mio is here.

Please don't record me.

What would you like?

Orange juice.

Orange, got it.

Hey... please stop.

It's Mio!

You only exist in this very moment.

Your cells and mind change every moment, right?

People are bodies that constantly change.

Just like no wind is the same.

I want to take a snapshot.

Oh...

You read that somewhere, right?

Come on, Mikoto! You always arrive at the worst timing!

Be careful, Tokyo is full of people like him who are all talk.

I don't think it's nice to plant ideas like that in her head.

There's no future to men who always talk about the past.

Hold on, I think about my future.

Okay, let's celebrate Mio's arrival to Tokyo, and her new job.

Cheers.

Okay, cheers.

Thanks.

Good, huh?

It's the best

Dumplings are good, too.

Here, eat up.

Delicious.

Huh?

You're already drunk!

Wonton noodle and beer.

Got it.

Hey, what did you decide to work there?

They said I can become full-time.

It'll be tough when you become full-time.

You'll have to cover for incompetent people.

I can't agree with picking a job for reasons like that.

You have to do what you want for a job...

It's not about what you want.

A job is about doing what you can do.

This is why you're still a good-for-nothing loser.

I agree.

Toshihito, you're on my side, right?

You're opening your own shop in Sapporo, after all.

This is so delicious!

What? You didn't tell me?

You haven't told me a thing about this.

You're busy with work, right?

That's your excuse?

Hey, Mio.

Let's go.

I see him sleeping on the sidewalk sometimes.

He's a handful.

Really?

I started going to Shinko Bath as soon as I moved here,

so he's taken care of me for over 6 years.

So... he's your father's friend?

Uh, yes.

What's your father like?

My father already passed away.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked.

It's all right.

I see...

You must have lived with your mother.

My mother passed away when she gave birth to me.

I see...

I'm sorry about that.

Oh, no! I gotta pee!

I peed a bit!

Why'd you do that?!

Give me a break!

You won't be doing anything difficult in the beginning.

You'll get a hang of it.

Ask her if you have any questions.

Excuse me, is it sold out if it's not there?

Um...

- What's the problem?

The meat bun that's usually there...

Excuse me, can you take care of things over there?

Is it sold out?

I bought this here, but it was damaged.

Here, see?

Maybe there's no point in complaining to you,

but how can I feed this to my family?

See? It's all squishy.

You probably don't know, but I...

Excuse me, excuse me.

Yes?

Is this item discounted?

Are these discounted?

These get discounted at this time, so can you put the stickers on?

Oh, stickers...

Yes, yes, stickers.

What's the problem?

It's past nine, so the discount...

I'm sorry, I was about to put them on.

This one, too.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Um... the midterms are coming up, so I want-a few days off.

We'll have a shortage of staff.

I can't leave it to the new hire,

and I have my own work.

How about I work on the weekends?

That would be great.

Then I'll get going. See you.

See you.

See you.

Excuse me, excuse me!

Thank you so much for today.

There's nothing you need to thank me about.

I'm sorry...

We all have our hands full.

If you don't ask for help, we won't know what you need.

But...

It may be annoying to hear from someone younger than you,

but don't assume you're the center of the universe.

Excuse me, I'm going this way.

You know how to use the cash register? - Yes

The salary starts at 985 yen per hour,,

and even experienced employees start as a trainee for two weeks.

I understand.

Then...

What are you going to do about your next job?

Hello?

Are you living well?

What about you, grandma? How's your health?

I'm fine. All is well.

Did you find a job?

No, not yet.

Do one thing you can do at a time.

Do things you can probably do, rather than things you can't.

Things I can probably do?

It doesn't matter if it's insignificant.

Insignificant?

Talk to you next time.

Okay.

Thanks, here you go.

Thank you.

Kacey Kaede here bringing you...

We have some leftover croquettes again at our restaurant.

Oh, no! He's peeking again!

You should give him an earful!

What are you doing?

Yeah, what are you doing?

Is he crazy?

Hey, please do something about this.

What are you doing?!

This is a crime!

Come on, I don't want you to get hurt peeking.

Please, sir.

I didn't know you can be so loud.

Thank you.

Kyosuke is always so lenient.

Yeah, public baths need a female presence.

Exactly.

He always is!

Last time, he...

Never knew you could be so loud.

You're not going to blacklist him?

Where will he go if he can't come here?

This place belongs to many people.

But...

We have to think about our customers,

and be thoughtful.

Right?

That will be 4,970 yen.

What are you going to do with all this?

It's for the orange bath.

Oh!

You can have these, too.

These are the damaged ones.

Thank you.

Here is your 30 yen in change.

How old are you again?

I'm already 94.

94 years old? You look very healthy.

Wow, then...

your son is still working full-time? - He's still working.

Oh, I see.

So, why did you decide to come to Tokyo?

Well...

Hello.

I'm so sorry.

You're sorry?

I don't want your apology.

Right.

What? How do you intend to take accountability for this?

No, why did you do something like this today?

There are small kids here, too.

Can you be held accountable? What if she had an allergy attack?

An ambulance would've been here. Are you fine with that?

- It's fine. Nothing happened.

I'm complaining because I'm worried about you!

How do you explain this?

This isn't about apologies! She's allergic to it!

There are kids who are allergic to oranges!

That's enough, let's go.

We have to notify these things in advance.

We had a good bath.

Oh, orange bath? Sounds good.

Can you put this on, too?

There will be a screening of my past films.

You're invited, if you'd like to come.

Thanks!

He's cute, you see?

He's standing just like his father.

I found out right before he was born.

It wasn't that big until a month before his birth.

So I was a bit surprised.

Thank you so much, I really enjoyed it.

I've seen many documentaries,

and I think there are two types of documentaries themed around people.

One is themed around famous people, who passed away.

The other is about people around you...

Wait.

You came.

Have you ever seen what it's like behind the theaters?

I'll show you around.

Let's go.

Do you have time?

This way.

You live here?

I've been working here part-time, since when I was a student.

You can watch all the movies for free after work.

But there's no shower here.

That's why I always visit your place.

I really envy a life like this.

Huh?

It's not as good as you think.

I simply recorded things happening around me before,

but when I decided to shoot a documentary about this town that I love,

there was no end to it.

This is a film camera.

You can't tell how it turns out until you develop the film.

Press this to stop, then start.

Start, stop.

It's rolling now.

Wow, It feels embarrassing to be filmed!

Try shooting other things, too.

Manager wants to see you.

Huh?

Manager wants to see you.

Oh, okay.

Wait for me here.

How was it?

This is my first time touching a camera like this, so...

That's not what I meant.

I didn't expect him to be living here.

I mean the film, the one you saw.

Oh, that. Of course.

It was interesting.

Sorry, let's grab some food.

Come on, let's go.

I feel jealous.

About what?

You both know what you want to do.

I envy you for living at a public bath.

You can take a bath any time.

This shopping arcade has 50 years of history.

It's become full of national chain stores,

but there are many people who had all kinds of thoughts and feelings

as they walked and around stopped here.

Do you have places or things like that?

I'm heading back.

What? Let's go eat ramen.

I want to organize data and stuff.

You don't have to! We don't even have a deadline yet.

That's because you didn't set one.

Should we stop her?

Let her go. She can be unreasonable sometimes.

She's a good person, though.

Date? Date? Is this a date?

I guess that's what it looks like?

These are snapping turtle's eggs.

This is snapping turtle's blood.

Do you know what this jelly thing is?

Uh, this is...

Snapping turtle's shell.

It's filled with collagen, and all women love it.

You talk as if you're an expert on women.

Well then, let's eat.

Okay, let's eat!

Uh, what exactly is happening here?

Well, I broke up with him quite some time ago,

but today might really be the last supper.

I was dumped.

Looks like Mikoto is being transferred somewhere.

It's not decided yet.

So, that's not really the reason.

W-Wait, I'm very confused...

What about Toshihito?

A man and a woman were together, but will be separated.

That's all.

I-don't think I can forget, just like that.

Men can't forget, just like that.

Don't believe him, he has a wife and a child.

Huh? You're cheating on her, then?

Oh, no! don't ever want to become an unethical adult!

You're so conservative.

What? That's not the issue.

Wouldn't that hurt people?

It's not about being conservative or liberal.

I love my wife.

Mikoto was very dear to me as well.

That is all I can say.

I'm a pathetic man.

You're not pathetic...

but it's hard for me to accept.

Would you like to try some?

I don't want any.

Were you offended? Don't act like a virgin.

That's not the issue.

Wait, you're a virgin?

Mio, are you a virgin?

I'm not...

What?

Ugh! There's the virgin believer in action!

Why can't you tell?

Wait...

Aren't you a film director?

How can you film documentaries like that?

As a man, I can understand how you feel,

but I think in general, men who obsess over virginity tend to be immature.

Wait, aren't you a Christian?

What? Are you a Christian?

Hold on...

I don't get it.

You're a sinner!

I'm not a Christian. I'm a Chri-sinner.

But he goes to church on Sundays,

and he believes in Mary's virgin birth of Jesus.

In that sense, I may be a virgin believer deep inside.

What's his deal? He's just too funny!

I know, right?

Incredible!

Please eat.

Okay, I will.

I'll have some.

Snapping turtle!

It's a kind of turtle?

What's this?

Amazing!

You can't get greedy, just because it's delicious.

Here you go.

Mio, you're surprisingly easy to read.

Do you think less of me?

Not at all.

You choose not to talk. Not because you can't.

That's how you defend yourself.

I'm going home.

The number you dialed does not have reception, or is turned off.

If you need to contact this number, please leave a message after the beep.

Good evening.

Good evening.

I'm Ephrem, from Ethiopian restaurant.

Come in, come in. - Hi, Effy!

Please, sit over there.

Ethiopia's tradition.

Your tradition?

Eat...?

I'll feed you with my hand. Don't worry.

How is it?

Delicioius.

A bit spicy? Is it good?

It's delicious.

Is this delicious?

No, no, no.

Delicioius?

Delicious.

How much do I pay?

This is on the house. All of it.

No, don't worry, don't worry. No need.

No, no, no...

Let's speak again. So please come again.

Then... please visit our place, too.

I will.

Thank you.

Thanks for coming.

We'll take a day off today.

Are you surprised?

I'll do everything.

Can we open?

Hello.

It's been a long time since my last visit.

Thanks for coming.

It was a bit lukewarm at first.

It'll be 460 yen.

We're closing.

This week, our show's researchers headed out to trending places.

East Tokyo is under a redevelopment.

Today, we went to...

You've done all you could, Kyosuke.

At what?

See you next time.

Thank you.

Did you see your boss?

His temper improved a lot.

He even praised my ramen.

Going back to Sapporo?

Well...

I think I'll just procrastinate more if I miss this chance.

If only you had this determination for Mikoto.

I don't think she wants to be involved.

Determination gets others involved.

Don't become a man like me.

Sorry, not enough money.

No problem, next time...

Thanks for coming.

Thank you.

Burn these?

Hey, you're making a mess.

Don't.

What?

Did you make it on your own?

What's wrong?

This place... will be gone.

Well...

I don't really mind.

It was decided years ago.

But you...

No.

I knew it from the start.

I'll give you a severance package.

'kay?

Please forgive me.

If you found a job,

and left this lace,

all would've been well.

But you quit your part-time job,

and you've got no guts.

I want to be left alone.

This is Shinko Bath.

Mio!

Thank you.

Take care.

Kyosuke, how long has it been?

Not since his funeral, so...

about 15 years?

It hasn't changed a bit, right?

Unlike Tokyo.

Thanks, for taking care of Mio, too.

I'm closing the public bath.

I'm sorry that I couldn't take care of her 'till the end.

I wonder what Mio's doing.

Want to come drink with us?

Kyosuke's here.

It just looks like she's sleeping.

You're right.

You doesn't look like my grandma.

Your dad look more like your grandma.

Things always happen so sudden.

She was eating flan just a day earlier.

Then she went to sleep...

...and never woke up.

Are we tearing down this place, too?

This house is very old.

Grandma was looking for the right time to tear it down, too.

What's this song called?

I don't know the name.

But it's a song that was always in my head, even when I was little.

It's your spiritual home, grandma.

Yes.

It's my spiritual home.

You haven't read the book, have you?

Words come to you when you need them.

Things that are tangible will disappear one day,

but words remain forever.

Words...

...are feelings.

Feelings...

...are light.

Your father... was a very good man.

Really...

why do all the good people go before us?

Leaving worthless people like me behind.

In the end, I ran Shinko Bath into the ground.

I don't know how I should explain it to him.

Eyes for seeing, and ears for hearing.

They're all you need.

Let's do it to the end.

How you end it is probably important.

Yeah.

Let's pull ourselves together.

The light is in my hand.

It is in my hand now, and always will be.

But I wonder from time to time.

When I unclench my fist...

...would it be empty?

What would I do if it's empty?

[ Notice of Closure ] [ We have screened many films for 30 years. ]

[ However, we will be closing as part of the redevelopment plan. ]

[ Thank you for over 42 years of supports. We will be evicted by redevelopment. ]

[ Notice. We will be closed due to the redevelopment after 67 years of operations. Thank you for all those years. ]

[ We are Against Redevelopment. ]

[ The Symbol of the Future and Redevelopment. ]

[ Notice of Closure ] [ Thank you for loving our bath for 53 years. ]

But the light is in my hand.

Thave to keep it in my hand.

For it is the light that I captured...

...amid such intense windstorm.

I will never let it go.

No matter what.

Turn into a rock, my clenched fist.

This pain of being alive...

The more painful it gets,

The harder I will grasp the light.

[ Shinko Bath Thanksgiving Festival ]

The light is in my hand.

See you.

[ One year later ]

[ Kashima Bath]

Mio on the Shore

I like how the tip of my hair sways before my eyes

My sight is transparently blended brown and beautiful

Words are reflected directly into my heart

Even though words aren't enough to describe sometimes

My eyes will continue to shine

I want many things going on with my life

I want to take someone I love on a vacation to the moon next summer

It's hard to keep everything within my hand

So head to the light, head to the light.

I like the feeling of stepping hard on my heels as I walk

Flatter it gets, the better

I'll hold onto my life, to the very end

Stubbornly, like chocolate stuck in a tube

Making contact with the utmost care

We're all so fragile, aren't we?

I want to stare into the stars tomorrow night

Our existence is so small, so we can be selfish

I want many things going on with my life

I want to take someone I love on a vacation to the moon next summer

It's hard to keep everything within your hand

So head to the light

As close as you can get, head to the light
