難民キャンプで暮らす5歳のシャフィと9歳の姉ソミーラ。二人は家族との再会を願い、叔母と共に遠く離れたマレーシアへ旅立つことに。パスポートを持てない彼らは密航業者に導かれるままに漁船へと乗せられる。自然の猛威や人身売買の危機に阻まれながらも、姉弟は過酷な道のりを必死に乗り越えていく。

Directed by Akio Fujimoto, who has garnered international attention for "Where I Belong" and "The Girls at the Seashore," this road movie is based on the testimonies of the Rohingya, often called "one of the most persecuted ethnic groups in the world." It depicts a young refugee brother and sister, driven from their homeland, risking their lives to cross borders in search of their family. Blending unrelenting reality with fantastical imagery, the film portrays the harrowing journey of refugees smuggling themselves across borders from a child's perspective. Five-year-old Shafi and his nine-year-old sister Somiir, living in a refugee camp, set out with their aunt for distant Malaysia, hoping to reunite with their family. Unable to obtain passports, they are led by smugglers onto a fishing boat, and despite facing the fury of nature, pursuit by security forces, and the threat of human trafficking, they desperately overcome the grueling journey. The cast includes over 200 Rohingya people, led by the siblings Somiir and Shafi in the lead roles. Their voices and gazes, as people who have themselves been driven from their homeland, lend the film a powerful realism despite their lack of acting experience. The film received high praise at film festivals worldwide, including winning the Special Jury Prize in the Orizzonti section at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival in 2025, the first time a Japanese director has won this award.
