Synopsis:
A poetic trip into Japan and a world that the elusive author of
best-sellers, Haruki Murakami, has painted for his readers. Largely
structured around Murakami’s enigmatic absence, the film dramatises
Murakami’s impact on his readers and takes the camera into the
hinterland to determine what is “Murakamian” in the Japanese
landscape. The resulting film has a beautiful sense of form and
poetic structure.
