What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Smoke-shrouded Kyoto gives Sparks of Tomorrow a wistful, inventive atmosphere: steam engines dominate this alternate early 20th century, while electricity promises a different future. The search for the Electrical Catalog brings wonder and uncertainty together, with other people pursuing the same book. Its promise is hopeful, but the adventure carries a quiet ache rather than uncomplicated excitement.

Kihachi’s older brother took the catalog to war and never returned, so recovering it means more than reclaiming a dream of invention. His meeting with Inako, a sake brewer’s daughter grieving her mother, brings two experiences of family loss into a tender young romance. Their growing bond gives the pursuit a personal warmth, linking the possibility of a brighter future to what each has already lost.
