AS LONG AS WE BOTH SHALL LIVE, North American Premiere, TORONTO JAPANESE FILM FESTIVAL

Presented by Toronto Japanese Film Festival at Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre

In this fantasy that takes place in a highly-stylized 19th-century restoration era, Miyo is the first daughter of a prestigious family. Her mother dies, her father remarries, and she is raised by an abusive stepmother. When Miyo finally reaches marriageable age, though, her hopes of being whisked away to a better life are dashed as she discovers her fiancé’s identity: Kiyoka, a military commander apparently so cold that his previous would-be brides all fled within days of their engagements. Contrary to her expectations, her new husband is kind-hearted. As romance begins to blossom, mysterious attacks are launched on the capital, and Kiyoka must fight for the city and the woman he loves.

Starring Ren Meguro, Mio Imada
A sumptuous mix of fantasy, action, and romance based on the popular novel, manga, and soon-to-be-released anime film.
