Emma Kawawada’s “Life Is Yours” centers on Kimie, a 71-year-old cleaner who infiltrates a luxury resort owned by a foreign company that seized her land and caused her husband’s death. Seeking revenge, she approaches the young CEO, Lily, but an unexpected maternal bond develops between them.

The Japanese production, produced by Eiko Mizuno-Gray and Takahashi Naoya through Toei and Loaded Films, is one of 17 in-development projects selected for the 24th Hong Kong-Asia Film Financing Forum. Mizuno-Gray produced “Renoir,” which screened in competition at Cannes in 2025.
