ナビィの恋

This is the touching story of a great love that knows no age. With a lot of feeling, wonderful music (by Michael NYMAN among others) and a lighthearted narration s the director tells the story of Grandmother Nabbie. Nabbie's granddaughter Nanako quit her job in Tokyo and returned to her and grandfather Keitatsu on the small island of Kurigo near Okinawa. The grandfather has taken a young stranger from Tokyo into his house, who is causing a disturbance in Nanako's emotional life, and Grandmother Nabbie has been behaving strangely lately, stealing away more and more often for mysterious walks. One day Nanako catches her closely embraced by a stranger, SunRa, Nabbie's great love, who has returned to the island after 60 years. The quickly convened family council decides to expel him from the island again. Torn between a sense of tradition and her love for SunRa, Nabbie now has to make a decision on her own. Nanako is also faced with the decision of whether she should leave the island, but the young stranger helps her with it.
