Plot

'My Broken Mariko', is a 2022 film directed by Yuki Tanada, with a script by himself along with MUKAI Kosuke, based on the manga by Hirako Waka with the same name, which tells the story of a woman reflecting on her own life while crying for the death of her best friend, who committed suicide at only 26 years of age.

The writer began publishing this tragic story on Kadokawa's Comic Bridge and Comic Walker websites in 2019. The work ended with a total of four chapters published, being compiled in a single volume. The manga won the New Face award at the 24th edition of the Japan Media Arts Festival and the production of the live-action film was then confirmed.

In 'My Broken Mariko', Shiino is having dinner at a restaurant when she learns on television that her teenage friend Mariko Ikagawa has committed suicide. After consuming a large amount of sleeping pills, she threw herself out of the window and Shiino can't quite believe the news. The last journey of the two friends then begins, in which the young woman will try to find the answer to the reason for Mariko's end, through a path full of memories, letters, monologues...starting from the basis that his life is not simple either.

The film will arrive in Spain in 2024 in the third edition of the Japanese Film Festival Online, dedicated exclusively to Japanese cinema, which thanks to its online format will allow us to enjoy it from home and completely free.
