Plot
Guided by her grandfather's WWII-era diary, Sora searches for a mysterious trove in the wilderness of her hometown. Meanwhile, a mysterious mute and backward-walking homeless man wanders into town who may be the catalyst to put her shattered relationship with her father back together.
Sinekatalog’s take
A quiet indie drama in which a woman follows her grandfather's wartime diary into the wilderness while a mysterious mute man arrives in town. The mix of treasure hunt and family healing is intriguing. For viewers who like slow, offbeat stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
