Sadao Abe and Miho Kanno to star in Yoshihiro Nakamura’s “Kiseki no Ringo”

5 April 2012 8:44 PM, PDT | Nippon Cinema | See recent Nippon Cinema news »

Sadao Abe and Miho Kanno will be playing a married couple in an upcoming movie called Kiseki no Ringo (literally “Miracle Apples”), directed by Yoshihiro Nakamura (Fish Story, Golden Slumber).

The movie is based on a true story. Abe will play Akinori Kimura, an apple farmer who faces poverty and extreme pressure from those around him, causing him to contemplate suicide. Kanno plays his wife, Mieko.

The real Kimura first told his story on the Nhk program “Professional Shigoto no Ryuugi” and it was later adapted to a book titled “Kiseki no Ringo: Zettai Fukanō wo Kutsugaeshita Nōka - Kimura Akinori no Kiroku” which has sold over 600,000 copies. (And oddly enough, Yoko Ono has painstakingly translated the entire thing on her website.)

After Kimura’s wife experiences an extreme allergic reaction to agricultural chemicals, he’s faced with the seemingly impossible challenge of growing apples without the use of any pesticides. »
