Co-produced by Raf Keunen and me, the film was part of the 20th edition of the Japan Film Festival Los Angeles, the most important showcase of Japanese cinema in the USA, for which the very selective programming is decided by the Japan Foundation, the Japanese institution which, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, promotes Japanese culture around the world.
