Asuka Hinoi Hinoi Team Busan Intl Film Festival Makoto Shinozaki Sharing
Following is a synopsis of the film [Source: Byeongcheol Kim, (2014) “A Window on Asian Cinema”, http://www.biff.kr/eng/html/program/prog_view.asp?idx=14088&c_idx=96&sp_idx=&QueryStep= ].
“On March 11, 2011, a great earthquake and tsunami rocked the Pacific coast along the northeastern region of Japan. This resulted in a terrible disaster that left 1,800 dead and the complete destruction of Fukushima. Shinozaki Makoto’s Sharing depicts the trauma that scarred the people of Japan and their recovery. Psychology professor Eiko, who lost her fiancé in the tsunami, conducts research through interviews with tsunami victims experiencing various traumas despite the fact she is experiencing hallucinations of her fiancé as well. During the course of preparing a graduation performance commemorating the tsunami victims, Kaoru continues to dream of the disaster although she has no direct connection. In the dream she helplessly watches as her young daughter is pulled away in the water they are both floating in. A calamity of great magnitude that can be considered a national disaster leaves a permanent scar on the hearts of countless people. Sharing is a film about such wounds and healing them through mourning and sharing pain with others.”

This is Asuka Hinoi’s second film role this year. She was in “School Girls’ Gestation” as well. I think she was also in a TV show. It seems like her acting career is picking up. I am so glad. I was worried that she was headed for entertainment industry oblivion. A young lady as beautiful and talented as Asuka Hinoi should be able to do more in the entertainment field, whether it is singing, modelling, acting, or something else. I continue to support Asuka Hinoi, and I encourage you to support her, too.
P.S. I wanted to add that Asuka tweeted photos of herself at the Busan International Film Festival. She was able to go to Korea for this event. It looks like they had a nice beach there. I know that Asuka is an adult now, but it still must have been exciting for her. It would be exciting for anyone who hasn't been doing it for years and years.
P.P.S. The trailer for 'Sharing' is available on YouTube. Here is the link
It looks pretty good. Regardless of what you think about the film, you can see what Asuka looks like now.
