Jenifa (2004)

Jenifa 2004 / ジェニファ　涙石の恋 2004 / Jennifer Namidaishi no Koi

A strange foreign woman arrives at a Japanese provincial temple to attend an abbot's funeral. No one knows where she comes from or why she came here. Clearly, she has no place to go. She gets shelter to help in the temple. Jennifer, or 'Jenifa' as she is called, barely knows a few words of Japanese, but soon finds a common language with all residents except for one quiet boy. He lives secluded from others and works all day in a field. Residents call him ‟Prisoner A‟ behind his back. Jennifer shows genuine interest in the quiet boy and wants to help him overcome his alienation from the inhabitants. (Source: moviemeter.com)
