Genre

Drama

Director

Doris Dörrie

Run time

1h 57min

Ten years after the death of his parents Rudi and Trudi, youngest son Karl’s (Golo Euler) life is in ruins: he can only appease his dark, inner demons with large amounts of alcohol. Suddenly, Yu (Aya Irizuki) pops up like a hallucination, amazing and shrouded in mystery. Supported by her Karl fights against himself and his past – in order to do this he nearly dies and has to travel to Japan to find out if he is already a ghost himself or still alive after all.

Doris Dörrie, one of Germany’s most renowned filmmakers, mixes western and eastern sensibilities once again after her hit “Cherry Blossoms” (2008). Starring in this warm-hearted, sometimes surreal drama is beloved actress Hannelore Elsner – in one of her last roles before passing away in 2018.
