Yusuke vanished three years ago without a trace. Now he's back and asking his wife Mizuki to take a trip with him. The journey takes them both down an unexpected route. Master director and this year's NIPPON HONOR AWARD-recipient Kiyoshi KUROSAWA's drama is a gut­wrenching meditation on loss, grief, and redemption.
