Love/RomanceComing of AgeArt/Artist

Seventeen-year-olds Kai (Yokohama Ryusei) and Akimi (Hirose Suzu) recognize a kindred spirit in each other at first sight. Sharing the wound of imperfect families and the island’s picturesque scenery, the two become soulmates who fill the voids in each other’s hearts. While Kai pursues his dream as a manga writer to create a new narrative for his life, Akimi decides to remain on the island and shoulder the burden of her family, placing the two on seperate paths. You, Like a Star is a drama that observes their 15-year journey of love across time. The film preserves the enduring emotion of love that defies the passage of time, stirring delicate and quiet ripples. The innocent face of someone who shared a chapter of one’s life becomes etched deep within the heart, turning into a luminous sentence that guides one’s destiny. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Nagira Yuu.
