Chizuru, a typical Japanese young female office worker, is socially clumsy, poor at romance and unhappy with her job. Being weary from a busy and stressful city life, she seriously desires to end her life somewhere faraway from the city and leaves for deep in the mountains, where she finds one lonely house. Then she attempts to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills in the guest house but she fails.... This is the beginning of her new life.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a poignant contrast between urban alienation and rural stillness, relying on sparse dialogue and contemplative visuals to explore its protagonist's inner void. It builds a narrative where the failure of an end becomes a delicate beginning.

What lingers after the final frame is a quiet, profound sense of resilience found in unexpected solitude. The journey is as much about unlearning life as it is about rediscovering it. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Masahiko Nagasawa
