Toward a Common Tenderness

In between Japan and Bosnia Herzegovina, a filmmaker embarks on a physical and spiritual journey to understand her daily life in a foreign land and how it affected her thoughts on filmmaking. Weaving her unused personal footages shot between 2013 and 2016, this film seeks for a possible connection between her current life of filmmaking in Bosnia and her past experience through filmmaking towards her family in Japan. Toward A Common Tenderness presents the filmmaker’s search and struggles to find humanity in filmmaking.
