Drama
High school senior Tasuku shoulders the weight of full-time care for his mother Misaki, who is living with ALS. A daytime helper stops by, but the real responsibility falls on him—cooking, cleaning, and assisting his mom with bathroom visits. The demands forced him off the basketball team and left little room to dream about the future, which he figured didn’t matter anyway. Everything shifts when his mother qualifies for additional caregivers, suddenly opening the door to his dream college. Now Tasuku faces an agonizing choice: can he truly step away from his mother as her condition worsens?

More About This Film

90 Meters is a Japanese coming-of-age drama about Tasuku, a high-school senior who has given up basketball to care for his seriously ill mother.

The title refers to the range of an alarm sensor his mother uses to call him from another room, turning a physical measurement into a metaphor for their relationship. Soma Santoki and Miho Kanno play son and mother in a semi-autobiographical drama by Shun Nakagawa.
