YUKIKO: CHILD OF SNOW – A Neo-Noir Revenge Tale
A FILM ABOUT VENGEANCE, FATE & FORGIVENESS
Beneath the neon glow of Tokyo’s underworld, a lone figure moves through the shadows—haunted by the past, fueled by vengeance.
This is Yukiko, a woman who has spent years burying the memories of a shattered childhood, only to be pulled back into a world she swore she’d never return to. A world ruled by Haruto, the crime lord responsible for her father’s death, her mother’s suffering, and the ghosts that refuse to let her go.
Now, after years in hiding, she is back—not to beg, not to run, but to face her fate.
WHY THIS STORY?
Yukiko: Child of Snow is more than just a revenge thriller—it’s a story about identity, loss, and the weight of the past.
At its core, this is a film about:
✔ A woman searching for justice in a world where justice doesn’t exist.
✔ The fine line between revenge and redemption.
✔ A past that refuses to stay buried.
Inspired by the poetic visuals of Park Chan-wook’s Oldboy** and the emotional depth of Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive, this film is an intense, visually striking neo-noir set in the heart of Tokyo’s underworld.
