Icarus Under the Sun (2010)

On a winter's night, Haruwo arrives in Tokyo and crashes at her friend Atsuko and her boyfriend's place. She freeloads off them and begins working at a mahjong parlor that is quietly doing business on the second floor of a building in an obscure corner of the big city. Haruwo, who had been mostly absent from junior high school, had felt a void in her heart ever since then. But at this mahjong parlor, she meets others who are a bit like her, as if she were drawn into their midst. Maguchi, the visually handicapped manager of the parlor, is a former photographer rumored to have repeatedly committed theft. Asako, his lover, had formerly been hospitalized at a mental institution. Haruwo's coworker Alan has a handicap in his leg, the cause unknown. As time passes, Haruwo begins to feel deeply attached to these people, but her happiness does not last for long. Edit Translation
