Film and Arts Mackay is screening the delightful Japanese drama Sweet Bean - An. Everyone is welcome! Tickets are available at the door and includes a complimentary drink and supper after the movie. Sentaro is the proprietor of a bakery that serves dorayakis – delicate pastries filled with delicious sweet red bean paste (an). When an elderly woman, Tokue, offers to help in the kitchen, Sentaro is reluctant but after a taste of her homemade an – Tokue tells him she’s been making it for 50 years – he decides to give her a try-out. Sentaro’s small-scale business flourishes and Tokue’s gentle presence slowly helps draw him out of himself. A self-contained man burdened by guilt and a difficult personal history, Sentaro’s capacity for joy is slowly renewed. As it turns out, Tokue has painful memories of her own to reconcile, something Sentaro and Wakana only become aware of when fear-driven, deeply-ingrained social prejudice rears its head. Come along to the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music in Mackay to enjoy this wonderful event!
