About The Place Where the Sun Sits
Former high school classmates, now adults, hold jealous thoughts, hidden intentions and lust for revenge. Graduates from a high school have held reunions since they graduated 10 years ago. The high school itself is located 2 hours from Tokyo by train and past reunions were held by different teams for different areas. An upcoming reunion is the first time where everyone will gather again.
Directed by Hitoshi Yazaki, The Place Where the Sun Sits leans on a strong ensemble — Asami Mizukawa, Fumino Kimura, Takahiro Miura — 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.
