However, he is swayed when he tries Tokue's bean paste its taste and texture are far superior to that of the factory-made bean paste Sentaro has been using. Sentaro initially rejects her application, afraid that the work would prove too much for the old lady who, moreover, has somewhat deformed hands. When he puts up a notice saying that he is looking for a co-worker, he is approached by Tokue, a lady in her mid-seventies, who states that she has always wanted to work in a dorayaki shop. The shop is frequented by locals and secondary-school pupils alike. Sentaro is a middle-aged man who runs a small dorayaki shop in the outskirts of Tokyo. It was also selected to be screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. The film was selected to open the Un Certain Regard section at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. It is the second film, after I Wish, to star real-life grandmother and granddaughter Kirin Kiki and Kyara Uchida. Sweet Bean ( Japanese: あん, Hepburn: An) is a 2015 Japanese drama film directed by Naomi Kawase.
