Sinekatalog’s take

A frustrated part-time worker hitchhikes to her hometown after twenty-four years away, following news of her father's death. The road movie reflects on regret, family distance and unexpected encounters. A soft, thoughtful choice for fans of Japanese journeys.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
