Sinsin and the Mouse (2026)

Sinsin and the Mouse is a dramatic film set to release in 2026, focusing on the intersecting lives of its two central characters. The story follows a Japanese woman mourning the recent death of her mother and a Taiwanese-Japanese man who feels disconnected from the world around him. These two individuals meet in Taipei, where their shared sense of isolation and grief begins to weave together into a poignant narrative about connection and loss.

The film features a top-billed cast including Yukino Kishii as Chizumi, Tseng Jing-hua as Sinsin (also referred to as Shingo), Kisetsu Fujiwara as Masamichi, Seina Nakata as Sachi, Kayo Ise, Tokio Emoto, and Kisuke Iida. Early reviews from March 2026 describe the movie as verbose and meandering, suggesting a slow-burn character study that prioritizes emotional depth over plot velocity. The setting of Taipei plays a crucial role in the atmosphere, providing a backdrop for the protagonists' introspective journeys.
