A beautiful, evocative tale of love and heartbreak, joy and suicide set in
the late 1960’s. The world was in turmoil, students are protesting against the
harsh Japanese establishment, and Toru’s life is at a crossroads. With the
suicide of his best friend, Toru’s relationship with his childhood sweetheart
becomes unbearable as they are haunted by the tragic loss. He finds himself
drawn to his friend’s partner – a true product of the 60’s, vivacious,
confident and everything he is not. Can Toru, like Japan itself, leave the
past
and his beloved wife behind and embrace the future that lies ahead…
