Synopsis

“The future looks good because the sea is super beautiful!”

The film opens with a black cat running down the road, in a village which attracts a motley crew of whimsical artists. Set in a coastal town, Seaside Serendipity follows 14 year-old Sosuke and his friends who devote their summer break to art club activities. As the free-spirited children inadvertently tread into the world of grown-ups, they get swept up in its lies and secrets, guided in and out of conflicts by their idealism and boundless imagination. While the kids embrace challenges thrown their way, the adults fumble in search of elusive answers.

Based on Gin Miyoshi’s manga of the same title, Seaside Serendipity presents a quirky collection of vignettes which celebrate the uninhibited artistry and childlike curiosity of Sosuke and his friends. Satoko Yokohama renders the quaint town in sun soaked hues, imbuing its enigmatic cast of characters with a touch of whimsy and endearing humanity.
