Director Yukinori Makabe will be in attendance to introduce his film and to take audience questions. Susumu is typical a 24 year-old, working in a small town bookshop. When his grandfather passes away, he inherits the mantle of Abbot of the Buddhist temple Eifuku-ji. His new job brings daunting challenges: earning the trust and respect of the temple’s board of elders, making important decisions, and even selecting appropriate new robes. Susumu soon finds himself struggling to live up to the community’s expectations of their new spiritual leader as well as having to deal with personal tragedy. I AM A MONK is a gentle and honest coming-of-age story – leavened with no small amount of humour - about a young man who gradually finds meaning in a profession that he had expected to abandon. Based on the actual chronicles of Missei Shirakawa, priest at Eifuku-ji Temple. Starring Atsushi Ito, Mizuki Yamamoto, Junpei Mizobata, Gaku Hamada, Daichi Watanabe, Yuya Endo Sushi will be on sale prior to the screening.
