Abe Hiroshi starring in new movie "Tsuya no Yoru"

Abe Hiroshi will be starring in a new movie titled "Tsuya no Yoru" (Tsuya's Night) which is due to be shown in cinemas from January 2013. The movie which is directed by Yukisada Isao (Sekai no Chuushin de Ai wo Sakebu), is based on a novel by Inoue Arano published in 2010 that had won the Naoki Award.

Abe plays a husband by the name of Shunji who has a frivolous wife named Tsuya who's troubled by his wife's frequent affairs but can't do much about it. When Tsuya finds herself down with cancer and is on the verge of dying, Shunji decides to inform Tsuya's ex-lovers about her impending death which causes differing impacts on these men's lives and families. Further cast announcements will be made at a later date but Abe has already started filming his scenes.
