#SweetBean (2015)
Burdened with a heavy and ever-increasing debt, a dorayaki baker hires a kind ageing woman, after tasting her delicious surprise.

Tonight's spontaneous watch was Naomi Kawase's 'Sweet Bean'. It's a bittersweet story about kindness and human connection, but also about abandonment and how prejudice stigmatises and isolates people. Mainly though, it's a gentle story about three people, each dealing with their own loneliness and baggage, whose lives at some point interconnect, and the way they manage to find meaning in the simple things and leave a lasting impact on each other. Really beautiful film.
