While filming, the actors played roles as "living beings" right there, engraving the "truth" of real tears and honest smiles from the heart into the film. Making a film is like having another life for me, and in the light that pours in and wind that blows, I find courage and hope. Not knowing my own parents, I was taken in by an elderly childless couple, and felt what it was to cherish this life. In this film that I was destined to meet exists the darkness and light of the world that I have seen. With everyone's lives threatened by COVID-19, whenever you are mentally exhausted, please feel a good amount of "hope" in the time you meet this film. I wish for everyone around the world to have the light of that "hope", and for a time to come when we can be just a little friendlier to someone. Every night turns into morning! I hope you take someone special to one of the theaters around the country to meet True Mothers. Naomi Kawase, Film Director #Academy #oscars #truemothers」10月30日 7時49分
