Six years ago, Miki and her younger sister, Aya, lost their parents in a ferry accident off the coast of Ishikawa Prefecture's Noto Peninsula, and are taken in by their aunt. After graduating from university and working at a bank, Miki has a boyfriend, Mitsuji, whom she has been dating since their student days. Seven years after the accident, Miki attends the seventh anniversary memorial service for the victims and reunites with Yoichiro, who also lost his parents in the same accident, and he proposes to her. Miki broke up with Mitsuji for personal reasons and chose to marry Yoichiro, who worked at a TV station and met the three high standards. Just as the newlyweds and Aya were about to start living together, Yoichiro's older sister, Kaoru, returns after her husband cheated on her. Feeling uncomfortable at her parents' house where her younger brother and his wife and their younger sister live, she begins to interfere in all sorts of things, leaving Miki at a loss as to what to do...

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
