We Are

About This Movie

We Are (2018) captures that bittersweet essence of growing up, you know? It’s a slow burn, but it really gets under your skin. The story follows seven friends who diverge after school – some chasing dreams in Tokyo while others stay in Maebashi. Over a decade, they reconnect, and it’s all about those little moments of heartbreak and triumph that define friendships. The pacing can feel languid, almost like a reflection on time itself. The performances are raw, genuine – they don’t shy away from showing the struggles of life. There’s a certain understated beauty in the everyday moments depicted, which sets this film apart. If you're into character-driven narratives, this one's got a lot to offer.
