Synopsis

Suburban Tokyo woman navigates fading middle-class dreams through strained relationships with daughters and distant husband.

Set in an apartment complex on the outskirts of Tokyo, Murasaki Yamada's Talk to My Back explores the fraying of Japan's suburban middle-class dreams through a woman's relationship with her two daughters as they mature and assert their independence, and with her husband, who works late and sees his wife as little more than a domestic servant.
