Synopsis
Yusuke Kafuku is an actor and theater director living a seemingly happy marriage with playwright Oto. However, his life takes a turn when Oto disappears, leaving a secret exposed. Two years later, he accepts a theater director residency in Hiroshima. There, he meets his assigned driver, Misaki, a taciturn young woman with whom, despite initial differences, he develops an unexpected connection. As they share journeys and silences in his car, Yusuke begins to unravel hidden truths about himself and his relationship with loss, on an introspective journey about grief, communication, and self-discovery.
