Only Trudi (Hannelore Elsner) knows that her husband Rudi (Elmar Wepper) is suffering from a terminal illness. It is up to her to tell him or not. The doctor suggests that they do something together, perhaps something they were long planning to do... Trudi decides not to tell her husband about the gravity of his illness and to follow the doctor's advice. She convinces Rudi to visit their children and grandchildren in Berlin. But once they arrive, they realise that their children are so busy with their own lives that they have no time for them. Then, suddenly, Trudi dies. Rudi is devastated. Then he learns from his daughter's girlfriend that Trudi's love for him had led her to forego the life that she had wanted to live. He begins to see her with new eyes and vows to make up for her lost life. And so he embarks on his last journey – to Tokyo, in the midst of the cherry blossom festival, a celebration of beauty, impermanence, and new beginnings...
