Shiranai Kanojo (2025)

What is love ?

The movie is based on the French film L'inconnue. I hadn't watched the French version, so I discovered the story completely anew. When the movie began, the start was very unexpected, and I thought I had selected the wrong film.

Riku, a young student aspiring to be a writer, meets Minami during university. Minami dreams of becoming a singer. At first sight, they fall in love, and we witness a sweet love story unfold. Eight years later, Riku has become a famous writer, with Minami's support. However, Minami hasn't achieved her dream of becoming a famous singer. As a result, Riku's mindset changes. He becomes famous, but in doing so, he forgets the gratitude he once had for his wife, who has supported him from the start. The next day, he wakes up in a parallel world where he has never met Minami, and she is now a famous singer.

It’s a beautiful and heartfelt story about love and dreams. I highly recommend this movie.
