Side Job.
Drama120 min
In Japan, a group of survivors try to piece together their lives, relationships, and sense of self as they search for a way forward. Kumi Takiuchi leads the ensemble alongside Ken Mitsuishi and Kengo Kora in a drama centered on personal growth, friendship, and the strain that trauma leaves behind. As each person looks for some small silver lining, the story follows the uneven work of rebuilding—through fragile connections, shifting identities, and the effort to keep living after lives have been knocked off course.
