＜Story＞
Having lost his wife to sickness, AOKI Tsuyoshi (IKEMATSU Sosuke), a novelist, travels to Seoul with his only child, eight-year-old Manabu (SATO Ryo), to work with his estranged older brother (ODAGIRI Joe). In spite of no knowing Korean, Tsuyoshi agrees to help his brother internationally ship suspicious cosmetics. 　After the death of her parents, former idol Sol (Moon CHOI) endeavors to support her older brother, Jung-woo (KIM Minjae) and younger sister, Bom (KIM Yaeeun), who is afflicted with asthma. Forced to accept any entertainment work thrown her way, she becomes frustrated about not being able to sing what she wants. 　A disastrous business venture throws Tsuyoshi, his brother, and Manabu to rock bottom. It’s there that they meet Sol, chewed up and cast aside by capitalism, her brother and sister. Little did these two families—one Japanese and one Korean—know what is waiting for them. As they walk toward their destiny together, they bear witness to a “miracle”…

＜Story＞
Sparks fly when Akari (YOSHITAKA Yuriko), who tragically lost both her family and her sight in a car accident, and Rui (YOKOHAMA Ryusei), down and out kickboxer-cum-mobster, meet. Infatuation pulls them from darkness into light as they enjoy their time together. However, it wasn’t fate that brought them together. Director MIKI Takahiro, a flag bearer for romance films, provides an unfiltered view of both the power and transience of sadness and joy that falling in love brings. The film title, “Your Eyes Tell,” is derived from Romeo’s infamous words, “Her eye discourses, I will answer it,” uttered when catching sight of Juliet on the balcony and committing to make his love known. Inspired by Romeo’s charge, Akari courageously makes moves for a future with Rui while Rui endeavors to create a future for her without him. Love drives both Akari and Rui to sacrifice their all for the other’s happiness. A broken heart and single-minded love gently envelops. What future awaits them? 　In a painfully sad love story, YOKOHAMA and YOSHITAKA use their eyes to talk, yell and question with deeply heart-rending performances. Just how important is it in today’s world to think about others?
