Gigguku
Shun and Mio meet beside the sea at moments when neither has an easy place to put his loneliness. Then separation turns a fragile connection into an unresolved possibility.

Father's Basement
The limited runtime leaves some emotional transitions tighter than they deserve. Still, the film resists turning hesitation into cheap cruelty.
