Under the hazy glow of a seductive nightlife, Miu, brought to life by Nonaka Anri with captivating vitality, treads the delicate line between innocence and audacity. As the twenty-first chapter of the auteur-driven “Youth H” series, this film marks the first under a female director’s vision, infusing its exploration of youth and sexual awakening with a nuanced perspective. Miu, a sex worker, carries a restless yearning, perpetually murmuring “I want to go home” as a plea without a destination, no matter where she finds herself. Through Nonaka’s portrayal, Miu emerges as both endearingly youthful and fiercely untamed, a flame that refuses to be extinguished.

On a fateful night, as neon lights cast their glow on the hidden corners of Miu’s world, Ryoma (Iijima Hideyuki), her childhood friend, steps into her workplace—not as a memory, but as a client. This unexpected reunion ripples through Miu’s soul, stirring buried fragments of her school days. A particular incident, long entombed in the past, resurfaces, pulling her into an emotional odyssey. Each exchanged glance, each hesitant word between them, weaves a tapestry of pain and tenderness, where past and present intertwine in a delicate dance of recollection.

With a poetic cinematic style and the sensitivity of its female director, the film transcends Miu’s story to become a haunting ode to the wounds of youth and the quest for self-discovery. Nonaka Anri, in her debut role, crafts a Miu of profound depth, blending the fragility of a young woman’s heart with the resilience of a soul in search of meaning. As the curtains of light fade, a question lingers in the audience’s mind: can Miu find “home”—not just a place, but a sanctuary for her spirit? Only her memories and the steps she takes on this journey hold the answer.
