STORY
高橋裕介は駆け出しのカメラマン。ある夜彼のもとに祖父の周太郎が亡くなったと連絡が入る。昭和の香りを残す町、大和高田市にて周太郎は製氷店を営んでいた。もう１つの顔はアマチュアカメラマン。裕介は周太郎の写真を撮る姿に幼い頃より憧れていた。裕介は恋人の友里と共に周太郎の遺体が待つ実家に帰ることに。実家に足を向けたのは３年ぶりのことだった。製氷店は裕介の父である圭司が継いでいる。圭司は裕介がカメラマンになったことに理解を示そうとはせず、周太郎の写真にも目を向けようとしてこなかった。製氷店も半ば周太郎の仕事を奪う形で後を継いでいた。
周太郎が特に力を入れていたのが大和川の写真。裕介は周太郎が撮った大和川の連作を使って個展をしようとするのだが。
写真集「大和川慕情」から着想された親子３代の物語。大和高田市にて実際に営業する木造建ての製氷店の風情が素晴らしい。
Yamatogawa bojo
Yusuke Takahashi is a novice cameraman.
At night, he hears that his grandfather, Syutarou, passed away.
Syutarou was running an ice maker in Yamatotakada city, where the atmosphere of Showa remains.
Another face of him was an amateur cameraman.
Yusuke has yearned for Syutarou who was taking pictures since childhood.
Yusuke and his girlfriend, Yuri, go back to his parents’ house that Syutarou lies.
It has been 3 years since he returned to the home last.
Yusuke’s father, Keiji, has inherited the ice maker from Syutarou.
Keiji has been unsympathetic to Yusuke’s job, a cameraman, and he has never seen any photos taken by Syutarou as well.
He nearly deprived Syutarou of the ice maker in fact.
Syutarou was putting a great deal of effort into photos of Yamato river.
Yusuke tries to hold a solo exhibition at a gallery of Syutarou’s picture series of Yamato river...
This is a story of a family in three generations suggested by a photograph collection “Yamatogawa bojo.”
The stage of this film, such a tasteful wooden ice maker run in Yamatotakada city in reality, attracts us.
