SAMANSA to Stream Three New Short Films, Green Snow, Hunting Spoils, and Woman Woman Woman, on May 15, 2026

SAMANSA Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Yuichi Iwanaga) announced that its short-film streaming service SAMANSA will begin streaming three new titles, Green Snow, Hunting Spoils, and Woman Woman Woman, on Friday, May 15, 2026. This week’s lineup spans a wide range of genres, from an ironic comedy about a wife who goes hunting with her emotionally abusive husband to a human drama that fantastically portrays the love a bedridden elderly man feels for his late wife. New Titles 1. Green Snow Synopsis: A bedridden elderly man spends lonely days receiving care in a cold room. One winter night, the snow falling outside his window awakens cherished memories of the forest he once visited with his late wife. What vision does he gaze upon amid his freezing reality? Director: Soshi Kogawara Runtime: 19 minutes 58 seconds 2. Hunting Spoils Synopsis: Naotaro is an old-fashioned, domineering husband, while his wife Yuko has continued to endure his overbearing behavior. The couple heads into the mountains by car for Naotaro’s hobby of hunting. Still unable to accept that their only daughter is a lesbian, Naotaro cannot hide his frustration. In the quiet depths of the mountains, the rift between husband and wife becomes increasingly clear. Then, unexpectedly, Naotaro’s hunting rifle ends up in Yuko’s hands... Director: Harumi Ikemoto Runtime: 29 minutes 57 seconds 3. Woman Woman Woman Synopsis: Four former baseball club members set out on a long-awaited hot spring trip. The organizer is fired up, declaring that he has “skipped baths for two weeks,” but he had packed in night shifts right before the trip and is actually in an extreme state on his third sleepless day. As he falls apart from exhaustion, his friends’ irritation gradually builds. What will become of their much-anticipated trip? Director: Keisuke Kondo Runtime: 38 minutes 16 seconds Staff Comment This week’s top recommendation is Keisuke Kondo’s Woman Woman Woman. It is incredibly funny. What makes it so funny is that the characters talk so much it almost does not feel like a movie. In the car, at the inn, at the izakaya, they never stop talking. The atmosphere never feels “acted” for even a second, making it feel as if you are peeking in on a real trip among male friends, and before you know it, you are fully immersed. By the end, you will likely find yourself captivated by these lovable characters. This weekend, why not take a peek at their “strange trip” on SAMANSA?
