SYNOPSIS

Partially shot in Japan and inspired by Ozu’s Tokyo Story, this is the story of Trudi (Hannelore Elsner) and Rudi (Elmar Wepper, Best Actor winner at the German Film Awards, the equivalent of the Academy Award), a long-married couple who travel to Berlin from the countryside to visit their children and grandchildren only to realize that they are emotionally distant and unavailable. When Trudi unexpectedly dies, a grief-stricken Rudi vows to honor her unfulfilled desires by embarking on a life-changing journey to Japan, a place Trudi often dreamed of but never visited. A trip to Tokyo in the midst of the cherry blossom festival sparks an unlikely friendship with a young Butoh dancer who helps connect Rudi with his wife’s lifelong love for the dance. Culminating with a pilgrimage to the iconic fog-shrouded Mount Fuji.
