Ribbon

The beguiling and imaginative directorial debut from actress Non. 

It is the winter of 2020, and art student Itsuka can no longer display her graduation project because of the recent outbreak of COVID-19. With no channel for self-expression she struggles to figure out what she should be doing.  With occasional visits by her parents, sister, best friend/classmate while being homebound, Itsuka gradually finds new purpose in her lock-down life.

Non also wrote this quirky and engaging coming-of-age story that captures that dream-like isolation of the early days of the pandemic while exploring the theme of how we find motivation and purpose when an unseen enemy is intent on robbing us of both.
