Kaoru Kobayashi delivers a masterful performance as Shingo, an older man who is both tolerant and selfish, tenderly watching over Tomoko (played by Hikari Mitsushima, right) while unable to leave his wife. © 2012 "The End of Summer" Film Partners
Gou Ayano plays Ryota, a younger man consumed by intense desire for Tomoko, tormented by jealousy and loneliness. © 2012 "The End of Summer" Film Partners
Hikari Mitsushima brilliantly portrays Tomoko, a woman exhausted by her long-standing love affair with an unaccomplished writer who has a family, yet unfulfilled by the passionate love of a younger man. She masterfully embodies this challenging role. © 2012 "The End of Summer" Film Partners
