About the film
Home of Acorns (1997)
Directed by ANNO Takashi | 110 minutes (Japanese audio with Thai Subtitle)
The story begins when Mr. and Mrs. Tazaki, a young couple, are blessed with their first baby, a girl named Keiko. But Keiko is a disabled girl with hearing difficulties and mental a defect. Accordingly, they encounter many obstacles and run into a lot of difficulties. Keiko attends a school for the deaf and grows up with other handicapped children and their folks. Centering on heart-warming rapport between Keiko and her mother, this film gives a vivid description of Keiko as she grows up, helping each other with handicapped children and their folks, as well as their teachers. After graduation, supported by many people, she throws all her energies into action to turn her dream into reality by opening “Home of Acorns”, a workshop for handicapped people, hoping that they can live in affluence too.
