Mitsushima Hikari starring in movie "Natsu no Owari" (End of Summer)

Mitsushima Hikari will be starring in the movie "Natsu no Owari" based on the same title novel by writer Setouchi Jakucho. The novel which won the 1963 Joryu Bungaku Award, was written under Setouchi's previous name Setouchi Harumi and depicts her life before she became a Buddhist priestess. Mitsushima will play the character Tomoko who is based on Setouchi's experiences.

Tomoko is a divorcee who gets involved with an older married man Shingo (Kobayashi Kaoru) for 8 years. She has never asked Shingo to leave his wife and is content to be his mistress. However, when she meets her former lover Ryota (Ayano Go) who was directly responsible for the breakdown of her marriage, Tomoko continues to be in a relationship with both Shingo and Ryota at the same time.

Filming began this month in Hyogo Prefecture and is expected to be wrapped up on 25 June.
