Sunao Katabuchi

The short film tells the story of a French philosopher named Sophie, who visits Fukushima Prefecture for the first time to attend a friend's wedding. Sophie loses her way in Fukushima, but a mysterious "friend" and a "map" appear before her, and she follows their lead, making detours and stops. Little by little, Sophie realizes that everything in Fukushima is a "culture" that has been created by someone and has been passed down through generations.
