Wisdom Tooth (2018)

Other name: oyashiraz

Description:

The film "Wisdom Tooth" delves into an extraordinary coming-of-age story prompted by a seemingly mundane event. The arrival of wisdom teeth marks a personal milestone, unlike infant teething which is closely monitored by parents; the emergence of these later teeth is often a private, unnoticed affair. This inherent solitude defines the experience of high school student Asumi. One day, following the extraction of her wisdom tooth, Asumi's perception of reality dramatically shifts. What was once ordinary becomes infused with a newfound significance. She suddenly becomes aware of "the existence of the new world," an unseen dimension or reality that had always been present but remained hidden from her. This pivotal dental procedure transforms her perspective, turning a simple extraction into the key that unlocks a profound journey of discovery and redefines her understanding of the world around her.
