One More (2021)

Other name: ワンモア, Wanmoa

Description:

"One More" centers on Sorada, a single father with a unique pursuit: attending high school part-time in a student uniform. This unusual choice stems from a tragic past; a severe illness during his teenage years kept him hospitalized, preventing him from experiencing a normal youth and school life. In adulthood, after triumphing over his illness, Sorada found happiness marrying a childhood friend, a single mother, and together they cherished their ten-year-old daughter.

However, happiness was fleeting as Sorada became a widower, left alone to raise his daughter. Haunted by his missed youth and driven by the heartfelt wish of his late wife, he resolves to reclaim the high school experience he was denied. The film follows Sorada's poignant journey as he navigates the complexities of balancing single parenthood, coping with grief, and immersing himself in a world of teenagers, all while striving to fulfill a long-held dream and honor his wife's memory. It’s a story about second chances and finding completion in unexpected ways.
