The God of Curling

Directed by Katsuhide Motoki

Kasumi, a high school student, has lived her life with curling in a scenic town near Karuizawa, home to the oldest curling field in Honshu. In her elementary school days, she won the championship with her childhood friends, on the team called Miyo Stella. However, the team later disbanded, and Kasumi was left feeling depressed. Meanwhile, the town was in the midst of an international curling tournament being held locally. Kasumi's passion is rekindled, as she thinks, "This is my chance to play in an exhibition match at an international tournament where I can compete against strong teams that will be competing in the Olympics!"
