The Stranger by the Shore

海辺のエトランゼ

Shun Hashimoto, a young gay novelist living on a quiet Okinawan island, keeps noticing Mio Chibana, an orphaned high-schooler who spends hours alone on the beach near his home. The two slowly grow close before Mio has to leave the island with relatives. Three years later Mio returns and tells Shun he is in love with him, forcing Shun to weigh that confession against his own guilt over what a life together might cost the younger man. This BL film runs as a single feature.
