Sumika Sumire (2016)

Meet Kisaragi Sumi, not your typical 20-year-old university student. Behind her youthful facade hides the wisdom and experiences of a 65-year-old. From her earliest years, she found herself entangled in the threads of familial obligation, trading the vibrancy of youth for the solemn duties of running the family business. Her life was a canvas of self-sacrifice, caring first for her grandmother, then her parents, crafting a life devoid of personal indulgences, romantic explorations, and the exhilaration of youthful adventures. As she reached the age of 65, looking back, she had neither regret nor resentment, only a quiet pride for a life lived with uncompromising integrity. However, the death of her mother provokes a sudden, profound realization. A longing to reclaim the youth she had forfeited, to dance to the rhythm of life she had missed, and to rewrite her life story. And then, the miracle unfolds. One morning, Sumi awakens, not as a 65-year-old woman, but a radiant 20-year-old. Disoriented yet thrilled by her new reality, she steps into the world as Sumire, ready to journey down the untrodden path of youth she once bypassed. As she navigates this surreal existence, Sumire learns that it's never too late to embrace a fresh start and live a life that is truly her own.
