A young bioarchaeologist Yukisuke is attracted to a girl Koyomi, who runs a small stand of taiyaki pastry that he often buys. Koyomi is hospitalized, however, by a car accident on a rainy day after they go out together, and wakes up with short term memory loss, where she cannot remember anything beyond the present day. Yukisuke tries to live close to her as before but the lack of collective memory starts to stagger him.

Silent Rain, adapted from The Forest of Wool and Steel, is a beautifully crafted film with a slow but meaningful narrative exploring memory, healing, and emotional connection. The film’s artistic cinematography, subtle piano score, and Nakano Taiga’s impressive performance as the physically challenged Yukisuke bring depth to its philosophical themes. While the story unfolds at a quiet pace, scenes like Yukisuke’s daily greetings to Koyomi provide emotional resonance, making this a must-watch for fans of reflective, thought-provoking dramas.
