“Who Opens the Door?” by Hajime Izuki
“KIM” by Shumpei Shimizu
A young boy goes on a strange bus ride with his mother. Reality and dreams interweave in “Who Opens the Door?”, a portrait of the wonderment of boyhood and the end of innocence.
“KIM” is a gritty melodrama in which the worlds of a Zainichi boxer and a battered housewife-turned-prostitute collide and spiral down the path of destruction.
