It was the \u003cstrong\u003e13th and final feature film directed by Shinji Somai\u003c\/strong\u003e, who died later that year, giving the film particular significance within the career of one of modern Japanese cinema’s most distinctive filmmakers. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe film follows \u003cstrong\u003eYuriko\u003c\/strong\u003e, a woman travelling north to Hokkaido in the hope of seeing the daughter she left behind, and \u003cstrong\u003eRenji\u003c\/strong\u003e, an elite government bureaucrat whose alcoholism and personal collapse have left his own life unmoored. After an unlikely encounter, the two set off together on a road journey through Japan.
