‘Who Were We?’ (わたくしどもは。) is a 2024 Japanese drama written and directed by Tetsuya Tomina.
The film revolves around a woman who wakes up on Sado Island with no memory of her name or past and finds herself drawn towards a man who is suffering from similar memory loss. The cast includes Nana Komatsu, Ryuhei Matsuda, Shinobu Otake, Shizuka Ishibashi, and Min Tanaka.
Synopsis: A woman (Nana Komatsu) wakes up with no memory of her name or her past. The setting is Sado Island. Kii (Shinobu Otake), a cleaner at a mine, finds her lying in the facility and takes her home. The woman is named Midori by the girls who live with Kii. Kii gets permission from the director (Min Tanaka), and Midori gets a job as a cleaner. Midori is guided by the presence of a cat and meets Ao (Ryuhei Matsuda), a man who lives on the premises. He, too, has no memory of his past. As they speak more and more, they meet up at the temple gate and spend time together, as if guided by something. One day, Midori encounters Murasaki (Shizuka Ishibashi), who exudes intimacy with Ao, and is disturbed. [© Far East Films]
