Kako: My Sullen Past (2016)

From my point of view this film feels like Kako's attempt to dig into the past, such as the story about the crocodile in the canal which many people think is a hoax, then the story about the child who went missing shortly after the bombing around Kako's residence; the 2 stories were repeated over and over again until they were imprinted in my memory for the duration of this film; then Kako's aunt suddenly comes back to Kako's family house after 18 years of disappearance, this is where the story that appeared earlier and which Kako pays attention to begins to get answers, even more than that.

Surely, the performance of the actors is very natural in my opinion, they make every dialogue flow properly and give a calming vibe which also makes it a charm that binds me.

I put a question mark on the 2 stories I mentioned above because they were repeated over and over again, making me think there must be something about them. Plus the arrival of Kako's aunt, Mikako who came out of nowhere, added to my thoughts, thankfully she came to be a resolution that helped answer my questions and opened up many truths and it was satisfying.

If I'm not mistaken, the last 20 or 10 minutes of this film were very funny, I laughed out loud because I didn't expect that there would be such a funny moment.
