FILMS
Culture Wrap revolves around world cultures in films.
The films we produce, and the films we highlight, explore global cultures and multicultural communities in your neighborhood and in societies around the world.
We focus on stories that show that diversity can strengthen us instead of weakening and dividing us.
It is about finding common ground, and at the same time honoring the individual in each of us.
All films have four elements:

Here you will find everything about the film and the filmmakers.
And you will find where you can see the film.

Although his life seems monotonous, no two days are ever the same, and he begins every new day with serene optimism. Hirayama's way of life radiates a gentle beauty.
He loves trees and watching the komorebi, the shimmering of light and shadow that occurs when leaves sway in the wind.
But unexpected events cause ripples in his life that reach back to his past.
