Sweet Bean Paste
Sentaro is a failure – he has a criminal record, he drinks too much, and his dream of becoming a writer is truly dead and over. Every day, he spends his time selling pancakes in a tiny confectionery shop. But everything is about to change. Tokue, an elderly woman with disfigured hands, enters his life and makes the best sweet bean paste Sentaro has ever tasted. It goes perfectly with his pancakes. She begins to teach him how to make it, but as their friendship grows, Tokue’s dark secret is revealed, with devastating consequences.
