Harmonium is a restrained, psychological drama in which a seemingly ordinary family is unsettled when a former in-law returns with a hidden past. Koji Fukada concentrates on intimate, quiet moments to reveal how loyalty, guilt, and memory can fracture trust and reshape relationships. The film threads tension through everyday interactions, slowly intensifying as truths emerge, challenging notions of duty, forgiveness, and the price of keeping secrets within a domestic sphere.
