What is Kanto about?
After years spent caring for her family, 45-year-old homemaker Sude is finally ready to start a job of her own — until her mother-in-law Saliha, whose dementia has been worsening, comes to live in her home. A tense family dinner ends in a bitter argument, and by morning Saliha has vanished into the snow. As the search for her spreads from the family to the police, buried resentments, guilt, and long-deferred sacrifices rise to the surface.
