Synopsis
Nobuhiro Suwa, star of the D’A 2018 retrospective and author of such sensitive works as Yuki & Nina or The Lion Sleeps Tonight, returns to Japan with this road film that reflects on the aftermath of the Fukushima tragedy. With a restrained emotion, Suwa centers the story on the journey of a young woman who lost everything and is now looking for answers. A cathartic film about collective mourning.
