*Riverside Mukolitta* is a story about human connection. It follows Takeshi Yamada, who moves to a small village in the Hokuriku region. As Takeshi navigates his new life, he explores the meaning of happiness through shared moments around the dinner table with his new neighbors.

*Riverside Mukolitta* is brought to life by writer and director OGIGAMI Naoko who is known for her meditative and intimate style of filmmaking. Ogigami explores themes of life and death through poignant and introspective dramas like *Kamome Diner* and *Megane*. This continues with her 2021 film: *Riverside Mukolitta*.

Naoko Ogigami’s poignantly offbeat “Riverside Mukolitta,” which the director scripted from her own novel, ends with the Buddhist message that all deaths, even of the most humble and obscure, matter. That said, the film is not a dressed-up religious parable, though a screen caption explains that the titular “Mukolitta” is a “unit of Buddhist time, equal to 1/30th of a day or 48 minutes.”
