Film festival takes place on October 21-30

The Busan International Film Festival in South Korea announced on Thursday that it has selected Josee to Tora to Sakana-tachi (Josee, The Tiger and the Fish) as the closing film for the festival. The festival will take place on October 21 to 30.

The film will delayed from its scheduled summer opening due to the spread of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The film's story centers on the relationship between Tsuneo and Josee. Tsuneo is a university student, and Josee is a young girl who has rarely gone out of the house by herself due to her being unable to walk. The two meet when Tsuneo finds Josee's grandmother taking her out for a morning walk.

Kadokawa will distribute the film. Eve is performing the film's theme song "Ao no Waltz" (Blue Waltz).

Tanabe published the original story in the 1985 short story collection of the same name. The story inspired a live-action film in 2003.
