Chizuko's Younger Sister (ふたり, Futari) is a 1991 Japanese film directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi.

Synopsis

The film centers on Mika Kitao (北尾 実加 Kitao Mika; Hikari Ishida), the clumsy and slow younger sister of Chizuko Kitao (北尾 千津子 Kitao Chizuko; Tomoko Nakajima), shortly after Chizuko dies in a freak accident. Although the sisters were very close, it is apparent that Mika lived in the shadow of her older sister's accomplishments. One night, Mika is almost raped by a stranger while walking alone outside. However, during the attack, a person resembling Chizuko silently gestures towards a rock on the ground, which Mika uses to hit her assailant and get away safely.

Une petite ville d'une région montagneuse. Lycéenne, Machi n'a pas encore trouvé sa voie. Un jour, elle s'amuse à inventer des histoires fantastiques avec ses copines : chacune à sa manière poursuit ces récits imaginaires qui tissent entre elles un lien invisible... Pour les adultes de la ville, les choses sont tout autres. Ils évoluent dans un monde parallèle : eux ont fait leur vie et sont plongés dans les réalités du quotidien. Adolescents et adultes semblent suivre côte à côte deux trajectoires qui ont peu de chances de se rencontrer. Et pourtant, des similitudes entre les deux parcours commencent à poindre. Un jour, une tempête provoque un terrible éboulement sur un terrain de criquet et découvre une forêt souterraine, que l'éruption d'un volcan a gardée intacte depuis des siècles. Peu à peu, réalité et imaginaire se rejoignent, passé et avenir se mêlent, esquissant bientôt un monde fantasmatique où tout devient possible.
