Plot

Having lost his job and the company he built, a 36-year-old man at rock bottom goes on a wistful solo trip to Japan in search of the love he left behind.

Sinekatalog’s take

A man at rock bottom travels to Japan, remembering the love he left behind years ago. The film moves between memory and present with a wistful tone and lovely travel imagery. A gentle, bittersweet romance for viewers who like nostalgia and long train rides.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
