My Sunshine Blu-ray Limited Slipcover Edition

One winter on the Japanese island of Hokkaido, a young boy named Takuya has resigned himself to the fact that he's the worst player on his ice hockey team. While practicing, he becomes transfixed by the figure skaters who share the ice rink, particularly Sakura, a rising star from Tokyo. Her coach, Arakawa, takes an interest in Takuya, seeing himself in the young boy. He pairs the two up and trains them as a competitive ice-dancing duo. Although tentative with each other at first, the kids eventually grow closer and form a deep bond with their supportive coach. But as the winter continues, unspoken feelings begin to surface and the harmony the trio once knew begins to falter.
“A gentle, unassuming film about the pain and misdirection that can arise from young love,” (RogerEbert.com), Hiroshi Okuyama’s sophomore feature My Sunshine is a heartwarming coming of age drama buoyed by its picturesque cinematography and beautiful score.
