Red Stone ~A Distant Cry~

1920s England during the post WWI economic depression. In the southwest of England, the ancient Roman spa town of Bath, with its long history as a destination for the upper classes to go for health and rejuvenation, is also suffering from the sluggish economy. Alex Cunningham is a Vaudevillian working at Bath’s small music hall, the Palladium. He strives to soften the hearts of the weary visitors to the town by presenting them with laughter and enjoyment.

Directed by Tamae Sha, Red Stone ~A Distant Cry~ leans on a strong ensemble — Maito Minami, Takashou Mizuki, Akina Rui — 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 screen titles of 2025.
