Susumu Terajima in Fireworks (1997)
Sent from her foster home in the city one summer to a sleepy town by the sea in Hokkaido, Anna dreams her days away among the marshes. She believes she's outside the invisible magic circle to which most people belong - and shuts herself off from everyone around her, wearing her "ordinary face". Anna never expected to meet a friend like Marnie, who does not judge Anna for being just what she is. But no sooner has Anna learned the loveliness of friendship than she begins to wonder about her newfound friend...

    • Quotes
      Back then, I couldn't quit anything. I kept running like I was going to die if I stopped. Like a tuna that keeps swimming. I thought I was going to run and run and win on my feet. It was a life where I would come home from work and if I heard rumors of other jobs, I would fly to the scene.
