This film is an affecting homage to Ozu's masterpiece "Tokyo Story" and Japanese culture by veteran German director Doris Dörrie. An elderly couple go on a last trip outside their village to visit their children only to find that there's no place for them. When the wife suddenly dies, the husband tries to fulfill her last wish. It's a fascinating film coming from Germany but makes sense because the two countries have more in common despite cultural differences. It's a beautiful film and solid testimony of Ozu's timeless masterpiece. YRCinema's coverage of upcoming releases.
