COUNTING DAYS

A FILM BY Hiromu Yamawaki

Ayano, Japanese migrant worker faces reality of living in a foreign land. She tries to seek a way to stay and live in Canada.

Ayano makes herself a morning coffee with one of the filters that she just bought. It is a pack of 90. The number of days before her VISA expires. Through Ayano we learn what it feels like to be living as a temporary foreign worker and the vulnerability that comes with this along with pressures like the rising cost of living. Beautifully shot. It is a tender and heartfelt portrait.
