Description:

In the heartwarming drama Hakase no Aishita Sushiki, a young teacher captures the attention of his unruly classroom on his first day by sharing the story of how he fell in love with mathematics. Through flashbacks to twenty years earlier, we see his mother being hired to care for a brilliant professor who suffered brain damage in a 1975 auto accident. While his personality remains unchanged, the professor is left with a short term memory that lasts only eighty minutes, though his memories prior to the crash are completely clear. Despite this limitation, a deep bond forms between the professor, the mother, and her young son, all connected through the beauty of numbers. This moving film plot beautifully demonstrates how mathematics can bridge the gaps in memory and heal the human heart. Hakase no Aishita Sushiki is an inspiring tale of friendship and patience, showing that some connections are written in a language that time cannot erase.
