Synopsis
A Girl Missing (よこがお, 2019) is a Japanese psychological drama you can watch online on iFILM. Ichiko has worked as a home nurse for one family long enough to become part of it — trusted with eldest daughter Motoko's secrets, woven into the household's daily life. Then Motoko's younger sister disappears, and the kidnapper turns out to be Ichiko's nephew.
She had nothing to do with it. The press coverage doesn't make that distinction. Mariko Tsutsui plays a woman watching a life she carefully built come apart — not because of anything she did, but because of who she is related to.
Directed by Koji Fukada (Harmonium), the film is a Japan-France co-production running 111 minutes. What interests Fukada is how guilt travels by proximity rather than intent. Stream A Girl Missing online on iFILM.
