Selected as the closing film of the festival. Majimu lives in Okinawa, a subtropical region of Japan, together with her grandmother and mother. Her name, given by her grandmother, means “sincerity” in the Okinawan dialect.
While visiting a bar she often goes to with her grandmother, she develops a love for rum and learns that its main ingredient is sugarcane. When her company launches an internal business competition, she takes a bold step and proposes an ambitious project: to produce rum made from locally grown Okinawan sugarcane.
Based on the true story of Yuko Kinjo, who rose from a contract employee to become a company president.
