Story
Born deaf, director Imamura (“The Connecting Bridge,” AIWFF 2014) regards herself inept in communicating with others. The thought propels her to take on a bike trip through Japan and cover 3,824 km. This road movie chronicles her 57-day journey from Okinawa to Hokkaido as she pedals and cries while her cycling escort spurs her on.
