THE 10-MINUTE RULE
Seats for advance ticket and pass holders are held until 10 minutes before showtime, when any unfilled seats are released to the public. Thus, advance tickets or passes ensure that you will not have to wait in the ticket purchase line but do not guarantee a seat in the case of arrival after the 10-minute window has begun. Your early arrival also helps get screenings started promptly. We appreciate your understanding. Advance ticket holders who arrive within the 10-minute window but are not seated may exchange their tickets for another screening at the Ticket Outlet or obtain a cash refund at the theater. There are no refunds or exchanges for late arrivals or for missed screenings.

A GENTLE BREEZE IN THE VILLAGE

DIRECTOR: YAMASHITA NOBUHIRO
JAPAN
In the isolated and mountainous countryside of Japan, Soyo (Kaho) attends a village school where she is the oldest of only six pupils. The children, all in the same class even though they are different ages, create their own little family. Just-about-adolescent Soyo lives in a dreamlike, innocent world (nevertheless with its bitter moments), which is changed by the arrival of a city boy (Okada Masaki), and disrupted by the knowledge of her imminent move to high school in frenetic Tokyo. A Gentle Breeze is based on a successful manga comic strip for girls. Print Courtesy of Asmik-Ace. ( 121 min )

Filmography: No One's Ark (02), Ramblers (03), Cream Lemon (04), Linda Linda Linda (05), The Matsugane Potshot Affair (06).
