電影內容｜中文版本
《我心中的布朗尼》由相馬雄太執導，是一部以災後失去、家庭關係、兒童成長與人與人之間互相扶持為核心的溫暖人性劇情電影。故事主角森本和樹是一名小學五年級學生，數年前的一場災難奪去了妹妹的生命。這段失去一直留在和樹心中，成為他難以面對的傷痛。為了重新開始生活，和樹跟隨經營拉麵店的單親父親葉介搬到新的地方，但對一個仍然背負著妹妹離世傷痛的孩子而言，搬到新環境並不代表一切就能重新開始。他無法順利融入學校，也很難與身邊的人建立自然的關係，孤獨感逐漸成為他日常生活的一部分。在這樣的狀態下，和樹偶然得知一種名為「Brownie」的精靈存在。對成年人而言，Brownie或許只是一個傳說般的存在，但和樹卻開始認真相信，妹妹其實並沒有真正離開，而是被Brownie帶走了。這個想法成為他重新理解妹妹死亡的方式，也讓他開始尋找Brownie，希望藉此找到妹妹的下落。和樹對Brownie的相信，在周圍的大人眼中可能令人困惑，但對他自己而言，這卻是一個可以繼續追尋妹妹的希望。當他開始尋找Brownie，身邊的人也逐漸被捲入這段特殊的旅程。和樹的同學和泉東子注意到他的行動，並與自己的親戚、翻譯家和泉大輔一起協助和樹。大輔是一名與故事核心謎團有關的重要人物，而他與東子的加入，也令和樹原本孤單的尋找逐漸變成一場有人同行的旅程。故事亦加入另一名少年聰太，他是一名需要照顧家人的Young Carer。聰太的一個謊言成為事情發展的重要契機，令和樹踏上真正的Brownie尋找之旅。這次旅程並不只是單純尋找一個傳說中的精靈，而是幾名孩子各自背負著不同問題後，在旅途中逐漸互相理解的過程。東子與聰太，以及一名不願上學的少年雅人，也跟隨和樹出發。幾個背景不同、性格不同的孩子，因此被一個看似奇幻的Brownie故事連結在一起。隨著旅程展開，電影開始把焦點從「Brownie是否真的存在」慢慢轉向孩子們內心真正需要面對的事情。對和樹而言，Brownie代表的是妹妹突然離開後留下的空白，也是他無法接受死亡的一種想像。只要相信妹妹是被Brownie帶走，而不是永遠消失，他便仍然可以繼續尋找她。這份相信既令人心疼，也反映出孩子面對重大失去時，可能會用自己的方式理解無法理解的事情。與此同時，其他孩子也各自帶著自己的生活問題。聰太作為Young Carer，需要承擔原本不應完全由孩子承擔的家庭責任；雅人則因不登校而與學校及社會保持距離。當他們跟隨和樹踏上旅程，這些不同形式的孤獨開始產生交集。電影因此並不只是一個關於失去妹妹的故事，也將兒童與社會問題放在重要位置，讓孩子的困難被看見。父親葉介同樣是故事不可缺少的一部分。作為單親父親，他一方面要經營拉麵店維持家庭生活，另一方面也要面對兒子仍然沒有走出妹妹離世陰影的現實。父子兩人的關係，在失去之後如何重新建立生活，亦成為電影重要的人性層面。相馬雄太過去一直以「孩子與社會問題」為主題製作多部短篇作品，而《我心中的布朗尼》則是他首次執導長篇電影，因此作品延續了他對兒童處境與社會關係的關注。劇本由《明日的記憶》的三浦有為子負責，透過孩子的視角，把災後創傷、家庭、孤獨、照顧責任與不登校等問題放進一段帶有奇幻色彩的旅程。電影並沒有單純把Brownie當作一個奇幻冒險元素，而是讓這個精靈成為和樹內心世界的象徵。當孩子相信某件事情時，成年人未必能立即理解，但那份相信本身可能正是孩子用來保護自己的方式。隨著和樹與朋友們不斷前進，尋找Brownie的旅程也逐漸成為一場尋找答案、理解失去與重新與世界建立連結的過程。平野絢規飾演主角和樹，田口淳之介飾演掌握故事關鍵的翻譯家大輔，而喜劇藝人Akira 100%則飾演和樹的父親葉介。不同人物的加入，使故事不只停留在孩子的世界，也呈現成年人如何面對孩子的悲傷與成長。《我心中的布朗尼》最特別的地方，是把沉重的失去放進一個帶有童話色彩的尋找故事中。Brownie究竟是否存在，也許不是最重要的問題；真正重要的是，當一個孩子還不能接受失去時，身邊的人能否陪伴他走過那段時間。和樹與東子、聰太、雅人的旅程，讓一群各自孤單的孩子開始互相看見，而這份同行亦可能成為他們重新面對生活的力量。電影以溫柔而不急於下結論的方式，描寫孩子如何理解死亡、大人如何面對孩子的傷痛，以及人與人之間如何在不完美的生活中互相扶持。最終，尋找Brownie的旅程不只是尋找一個精靈，而是和樹在失去妹妹之後，慢慢尋找重新生活的可能。
English Version
Brownie Inside Me is a warm human drama directed by Yuta Soma, centred on a young boy struggling with the loss of his younger sister after a devastating disaster. Rather than presenting grief through a straightforward realistic narrative, the film uses the idea of a mysterious fairy called Brownie to explore how a child tries to understand a loss that is simply too painful and complicated to accept. The protagonist, Kazuki Morimoto, is a fifth-grade elementary school student. Several years earlier, he lost his younger sister in a disaster, an event that continues to shape his everyday life. Hoping to begin again, Kazuki moves to a new place with his father, Yosuke, a single parent who runs a ramen restaurant. Yet a new home does not automatically provide a new beginning. Kazuki struggles to fit into his school and has difficulty connecting with the people around him. The emotional distance left by his sister’s death continues to follow him, leaving him increasingly isolated. One day, Kazuki learns about a fairy known as Brownie. While the idea might sound like a simple legend to the adults around him, Kazuki takes it seriously. He begins to believe that his sister did not truly die but was instead taken away by Brownie. This belief gives him a way to imagine that his sister might still be somewhere in the world, and he begins searching for the mysterious creature. His search may seem confusing to the people around him, but for Kazuki it represents hope. If Brownie exists, then perhaps his sister can still be found. Kazuki’s unusual quest eventually attracts the attention of his classmate Toko Izumi. She decides to help him and brings in her relative Daisuke Izumi, a translator who becomes an important figure in the story. Their involvement changes Kazuki’s search from a solitary obsession into something that other people are willing to share with him. The story also introduces Sota, a young carer who carries responsibilities connected to his family life. A lie told by Sota eventually becomes the trigger for Kazuki to leave on a real journey in search of Brownie. Toko and Sota follow him, joined by Masato, a child who has stopped attending school. The four young people come from different circumstances, but their lives become connected through Kazuki’s search for the mysterious fairy. What begins as a seemingly fantastical adventure gradually becomes a deeper exploration of the difficulties each child carries. For Kazuki, Brownie represents the emotional gap created by his sister’s death. Believing that she was taken away rather than lost forever allows him to continue imagining a possible reunion. The idea is both heartbreaking and understandable: when a child cannot fully comprehend death, imagination can become a way of protecting the heart from an overwhelming reality. The film treats this belief with warmth rather than simply dismissing it as childish fantasy. At the same time, the other children are dealing with their own forms of isolation. Sota is a young carer, meaning that family responsibilities have placed an unusual burden on him at a young age. Masato has withdrawn from school and is separated from ordinary social life. Their journey with Kazuki brings these different forms of loneliness into the same space. The film therefore expands beyond a story about bereavement and becomes a story about children whose difficulties are often overlooked by the wider society. Yosuke, Kazuki’s father, is also central to this emotional landscape. As a single father running a ramen shop, he has to balance the practical demands of supporting the family with the emotional reality that his son has not recovered from the loss of his sister. The relationship between father and son reflects another important question: how can a family continue living after something has fundamentally changed? Director Yuta Soma has previously created numerous short films dealing with children and social issues, and Brownie Inside Me marks his first feature-length directorial work. The film continues his interest in children’s lives and the problems they encounter within society. Screenwriter Yuiko Miura, known for Memories of Tomorrow, develops these ideas through a story that combines disaster-related grief, family relationships, loneliness, young caregiving responsibilities and school refusal with elements of fantasy. Brownie is therefore more than a magical creature within the plot. The fairy becomes a symbol of Kazuki’s inner world and his need to find an explanation for something that cannot easily be explained. Adults may not understand why he believes so strongly, but that belief may be precisely what allows him to endure. As Kazuki and the other children continue their journey, the search for Brownie slowly becomes a search for something deeper: an answer to loss, a way to understand the past and a path toward reconnecting with the world. The performances add further emotional dimensions to the story. Ayaki Hirano plays Kazuki, the young protagonist, while Junnosuke Taguchi portrays Daisuke, the translator who holds an important connection to the story’s mystery. Comedian Akira 100% plays Yosuke, Kazuki’s father. Through these characters, the film moves between the perspectives of children and adults, showing how difficult it can be for adults to understand a child’s grief and how important patient companionship can become. The central mystery is whether Brownie really exists, but the answer is ultimately less important than what Kazuki’s belief means to him. His search gives him a reason to keep moving when grief has made ordinary life difficult. By travelling with Toko, Sota and Masato, he also discovers that he is not the only child carrying something painful. Their shared journey allows these isolated young people to recognise one another and gradually create a sense of connection. Brownie Inside Me uses a gentle, human perspective to consider how children experience death, how families respond to grief and how people can support one another when there are no simple answers. The fantasy element does not remove the pain at the centre of the story; instead, it gives that pain a form that a child can understand. Brownie becomes a bridge between imagination and reality, between the sister Kazuki cannot let go of and the life he must eventually continue living. In the end, the journey to find Brownie is not simply a search for a fairy. It becomes Kazuki’s gradual search for a way to live again after loss, surrounded by people who are learning, in their own ways, how to face the difficulties they carry.
