After the Sunset (夕陽のあと)

Produced by Nagashima Tairiku Film Committee

I should have put on more clothes.

It was cold this morning.

-Were you sleeping naked? -Busted.

Wear your panties at least.

Stop it!

They're coming back!

It's ready.

Phew.

Thank you.

Let's eat.

Thank you for the food.

Towa.

When you're at the port, don't forget

to thank your dad.

Good.

Delicious.

There.

Boss, shall I open the shop?

Please.

Oh, good morning. Please come in.

Welcome.

Nagashima Tairiku Market diner

Good morning, Towa!

-Morning. -Morning.

-School? -Yes.

-Towa! -Coming!

-See you later. -Have a good day.

Dad!

Hey Towa.

Pay attention to teachers.

Have a good day.

Your noodles. Sorry for the wait.

Over here.

Sorry I spilt a little. Do you mind?

Where are my noodles?

-Coming. -Croquettes are ready.

Pardon?

-He got dumped yesterday. -Not true.

Would you take him out sometime?

Sure.

After the sunset

Tap on the side for a better sound.

On the side.

Not like that. Yes, you've got it!

Bye.

See you tomorrow!

I'm home!

These barrel drums come from where I was born.

When Towa's dad was your age,

He was so excited.

He looked his best at the festival.

I can do it, too!

Oh my.

Very good, work hard as his heir.

-Check the taste for me. -Sure.

Sorry I'm late.

-Good? Sure? -Yes.

Welcome.

-Let me see her. -Sure.

So sweet.

Lovely Sana.

She is really cute.

A new born.

Tell you the truth,

I've been unwell because of the fertility treatment.

I can't even work.

I'm thinking of giving up.

Don't worry about the work.

But I need to draw the line somewhere. It's expensive, too.

We also spent this much.

Three million yen?

That's nothing to boast about.

But money is not the reason.

It's like chasing a moving goal post forever.

Your body and mind go to pieces.

Yes.

When granny told me to stop,

I was gutted but so relieved and I almost cried.

It's good you made up your mind. Now you have Towa.

Help me!

Towa, come and help here.

Must I?

Yes, you must. Quickly, take this.

What bad manners. No pinching.

Smells so good. Try some, come on.

Let me have one.

Careful.

Pour it properly.

What are you doing?

Thanks to you, we can have a good New Year.

It's not just me.

I'm so glad you came back to the island.

You've made a great success of the fish farm. Really well done.

I only carried on what my dad started.

But things have changed a lot since then.

Dad used to say yellowtail farming is like gambling.

That hasn't changed.

True. The red tide wiped us out.

That was hard.

Me, too, I got done first time.

That was really hard.

Cheer up. Let's have a drink.

Let's drink and be merry.

Let's have a toast!

-Satsuki, you, too. -I'm OK.

-Go on. -But tomorrow...

Kiyoshi. Go Kiyoshi.

You've got heavier again.

Thank you for coming.

What, you have two?

Kyota has three. I'm defeated.

That's not a competition! Don't worry.

Akane!

Towa.

-Hello. -Good afternoon.

Towa, let's go to the dentist.

-No way! -Catch you!

Tooth decay?

One up top and on the bottom. Bummer.

Adult teeth will come through soon. Don't worry.

Still a blow for a parent.

I heard parent's saliva causes baby tooth decay.

Towa didn't eat much when he was a baby.

So I chewed food for him.

I kissed him a lot, too.

Satsuki and Akane. Here, as I promised.

Thanks. Can I ask you...

Akane, are you on a break? Would you like a drink?

I still need to finish up.

Of course. I might have something to eat.

-Hideyuki! -Sorry.

Are you still open?

So obvious. It's just a matter of time before he's rejected.

-Towa, that was so good, wasn't it? -Yes.

I washed Towa.

Towa, it's time for bed.

I want to play a game with daddy.

No games until your teeth are fixed.

-It's fixed. -Open up and show me.

-I don't want to. -Wait.

-Let's play cards with granny? -Yes.

Towa!

It's nice.

What is this?

From Hideyuki.

"Child Adoption application"

Ah, finally.

We wanted to do this much sooner.

There was the fish farm.

The treatment cost, too. We wanted to pay off the debt first.

Document screening first, then interview at the Family Court.

Not looking forward to it.

We will be fine.

What's this?

I'm going to take it to the interview.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

So cute, brings back memories.

We still need the birth mother's consent.

It will be fine.

Child Consultation Center has the parental rights so it should be fine.

We should tell uncles about the adoption.

Mother 's declaration to the relatives.

Sure.

So cute.

Brings back memories.

-I won! -I'm going to sleep.

If you go to sleep with a frown, you will have a bad dream.

Come here, give me your hand.

Granny drank all your bad feeling.

-So you will have a good dream. -That's not true.

Wait, Towa. Smile for me.

Smile. A little bit more.

Come on, Towa. Smile.

You look best when you smile.

Time to sleep.

Thank you.

Akane!

See you tomorrow.

Good work.

What's up?

This way.

Perfect place to daydream.

When my parents had a fight,

mum used to bring us here to calm down.

Dad was always drunk and didn't go fishing.

The sea is too rough or the tide wasn't right.

He always had excuses.

While mum cried, we swam in the sea.

You know, the sea is calmest and warmest after the sun has set.

A place with a lot of memories.

Not good memories.

Anyway, if you're worried about something, I will listen.

Everyone is talking, who will get that pretty girl.

Don't...

Have you settled down here?

Thank you. It's been a year.

Already?

Towa is working hard on the Taiko drums.

He takes his sticks everywhere. It's like living with a monster.
