Hamon (2023)

Other name: 波紋, Ripples

Description:

Hamon delves into the meticulously calm life of a woman devoted to the Green Life Society, a new religion centered around the purity of water. Her days are a tranquil rhythm of study groups, daily prayers, and drawing meditative ripples in the sand of her peaceful garden. This carefully constructed serenity, however, is brutally shattered when her long-missing husband makes a sudden, unexpected return home. His reappearance acts as a profound disruption, unraveling the quiet facade she has so diligently maintained. A deep, microcosmic despair begins to settle within her, forcing a torrent of suppressed emotions to violently surge to the surface. This film explores the raw psychological impact of buried feelings and the tumultuous unraveling of a life built on a fragile peace, where the symbolic ripples she once drew now mirror the chaotic waves of her inner world.
