About The Palace of Ryugu, When Day Breaks
A fantasy inspired by the legend of Urashima Taro, who is said to have spent decades living in an undersea realm. Set on the Shonai Peninsula in Kagawa Prefecture, it presents a dream-like depiction of a young man's recovery from the death of a friend. University student Taro nearly drowns in the sea on a visit home but is rescued by his close hometown friend Masahiko, who instead loses his own life. Taro is wracked with guilt. Then one day, a strange girl named Mizuki appears before him.
Directed by Aoki Katsunari, The Palace of Ryugu, When Day Breaks leans on a strong ensemble — Hoshi Ishida, Risa Taniuchi, Yūkichi Kobayashi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2014.
