Dareka no Manazashi

Aya Okamura is trying to manage life on her own, but the strain of work makes independence harder than she expected. Her father remains in the family home with their aging cat Mii, while her mother works far away. Affection survives, even as everyday conversation grows less frequent.

A call from her father draws Aya back toward the home she has left. Memories of childhood begin to change how she understands the quiet care that has surrounded her, and the distance between growing up and truly losing touch.
