In October, LGBTQI film Natchan’s Little Secret is showing at the Japanese Film Festival 2023.
Natchan’s Little Secret is a dark comedy that covers the topics of Japanese Queer identity, struggles, and acceptance.
According to the official synopsis, “A drag queen and owner of a gay bar in Tokyo’s vibrant Shinjuku, Natchan carried her gender identity to the grave and hid it from everyone outside her community – including her own mother. Left to mourn are her family of queens, now faced with an unforeseen reality: they have no clue of her address, origin, or legal family.
“Virgin, Morilyn and Zubuko find themselves bickering their way on the road to Natchan’s funeral in a remote town in the mountains, determined to keep their identities from posthumously exposing her.”
Natchan’s Little Secret stars Kenichi Takitō, Shū Watanabe, Tomoya Maeno and Chieko Matsubara.
The 2023 film is directed by Yasujirō Tanaka.
97 minutes
