Ren and his sister Emi are still struggling with the loss of their mother, who ended her life at a young age. They have had no contact with their father Hajime for years. When Ren suddenly comes face to face with his father during an ordinary workday, everything changes.

In bustling Tokyo, Ren works as an orchid delivery man. Together with his sister Emi, they are still burdened by the loss of their mother, who ended her life at a young age. They have had no contact with their father Hajime for years, ever since he chose his career as a landscape architect over his family.

Ten years later, during an ordinary workday, Ren suddenly finds himself face to face with his father. The unexpected encounter forces brother and sister to rethink the past, their father, and the question of whether there is still room for reconciliation.

With quiet imagery and strong, understated performances, Brand New Landscape unfolds as a subtle family drama about loss, loneliness, and the difficult path to finding each other again. An atmospheric and poignant debut in which the constantly changing Tokyo also becomes a mirror of a family that has grown apart.
