Night's Tightrope, known in Japan as Shōjo (少女), is a Japanese film directed by Yukiko Mishima, based on author Kanae Minato's novel of the same name.[1][2] The theme song "Yami ni me o Koraseba" (闇に目を凝らせば) was written and performed specifically for the film by the rock band Glim Spanky at the request of Mishima.[3]

Plot

[edit]

Yuki (Tsubasa Honda) is a second year high school student. She volunteers at a paediatrics ward for her summer vacation, because she wants to witness the moment a person dies. She got that thought after feeling envious of a transfer student's story of seeing a friend's dead body.

Yuki has friend named Atsuko (Mizuki Yamamoto). She was bullied in the past and has anxiety issues. She volunteers at a nursing home for her summer vacation, hoping that she will gain courage if she sees the moment a person dies.
