Photograph of Memories

Omoide Shashin (おもいで写眞) or Photograph of Memories is a 2021 Japanese movie, directed by Kumazawa Naoto [ja] and starring Fukagawa Mai and Kengo Kora.

Fukagawa plays a girl who returns to her rural hometown in Toyama after failing to make a career in Tokyo.

When her grandmother dies and her funeral photo is blurry, she works with her friend in local government (Kora) to take high quality photos of senior citizens.

One elderly woman (Yoshiyuki) initially refuses, believing the act of taking a funeral photo to be bad luck, but agrees after Fukagawa offers to take her picture in some place with special significance to her.
