Event Description : 'Nabbie No Koi : Nabbie’s Love' Japanese film screening.
Nanako quits her job in Tokyo to return to her home island where her grandfather, Keitatsu, and grandmother, Nabbie, still live. The ferry is captained by a young man she knew when she lived
on the island as a child. Also aboard is a quaint fellow, SunRa, dressed in a dandy tropical outfit, who seems to have some nostalgic link to the island..
Nabbie and Keitatsu's home is filled with bougainvillea and song. Reiko, owner of the only shop on the island, happily accompanies her Irish fiddler husband, O'Connor. Life on the island is lazy and- content with music seemingly always in the background. Far to the south of the bustling metropolises of Japan the chain of islands that make up Okinawa are a topical paradise and the people opeF'ate^t- a'-"mnicfri,sto'W'er pace thin their cousins on the mainland. As she renews her acquaintances on the island, Nanako, one day, sees Nabbie and SunRa in each other's arms. An extraordinary passion seems to pass -between the old island woman and'the dandy from afar.
Nanako decides.to,kee p,- what she -saw a secret; b ut wordws'O'0'n""lei1 o lit"' and" tfie iTTic it Io ve affair shocks the conservative islanders. A formal clan meeting is held, the shaman is summoned and her verdict is that SunRa must leave and Nabbie must never see him again. Nabbie is of course vehemently opposed to-this course of action but her upbringing in the tight clan system of the islands means she must either accept the decision or leave the island herself. Nanako's grandfather sits her down and explains that 60 years ago, Nabbie fell desperately in love with SunRa but was forced to separate from him because of her family's standing in the community. They were deeply in love but unable to marry. The-only thing to be done was for SunRa to leave the island. SunRa emigrated overseas. Later on. Keitatsu, who is ypunger than Nature; marrietiirtto her family. He also tells Nanako the secret of the bougainvillea flowers. Nanako begins to cry as the old man wearily tells her he never thoughthe'd see SunRa again. But Nabbie never could forget her lover and she had faithfully written him once a year. The fires of Nabbie's love still smoldered.
