Written and directed by Nakano Ryo ( Capturing Dad ), the curiously titled Her Love Boils Bathwater won Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress at the 40th Japan Academy Prize. Acclaimed actress Miyazawa Rie ( Pale Moon ) delivers another luminous performance as a mother who suddenly learns that her days are numbered. The offbeat yet moving film co-stars award-winning teen actress Sugisaki Hana ( Pieta in the Toilet ) as her daughter, as well as Odagiri Joe and Matsuzaka Tori. Kono Futaba (Miyazawa Rie) has been doing her best to support the household ever since her feckless husband (Odagiri Joe) ran off a year ago. Then, she's diagnosed with terminal illness. With little time left but much to do, she determinedly sets out to prepare her timid bullied daughter Azumi (Sugisaki Hana) for a life without her. First, Futaba tracks down her husband, who now has a young daughter in tow. Next, she makes the family work together to reopen the bathhouse business. Finally, she must reveal a long-held family secret to Azumi.
