At Fugetsu-Do, there is more to the mochi-gashi than rice flour and sweet bean paste. In this intimate portrait of a sweet shop that’s become a memory bank for the Little Tokyo community, it’s clear that the stories that line its walls could not be more relevant in today’s America.

Memories flood the screen through home videos, a school yearbook, a sweet shop, and more. These non-fiction shorts turn a kind gaze upon different communities in the moments of uncertainty and transformation. — Udval Altangerel
