The result of the Pff Scholarship for 2020, “Cat and Salt, or Sugar” is the first feature film of Takashi Komatsu, who, back in 2016, won the Pff Grand Prix, with his middle length, “Out of the Frying Pan”.
“Cat and Salt, or Sugar” screened at the 42nd Pia Film Festival
Ichiro is a kind of hikikomori who lives with his timid mother, Keiko and his alcoholic father, essentially allowing the former to treat him like some sort of a pet and particularly a cat, as he so eloquently states in the beginning of the film. The two of them are essentially a team, and have alienated his father, whose obnoxious behaviour, however, definitely justifies their attitude. One day, while on a trip with his mother, they stumble upon an ex-boyfriend of hers, Mr Kaneshiro and his daughter, and through a series of rather illogical events, they invite them to stay in their house.
