A man who’s near the end of his life decides to make one last journey to find his lost love, a Japanese woman he met 50 years earlier. His trip includes London and Nagasaki right at the onset of Covid. Meanwhile, the narrative continually switches back to the 70s, when their romance blossomed. Being an import from Iceland with an Asian angle, there’s a sedate, almost Zen quality to filmmaking. While the tale unfolds slowly, the performances and direction make it quietly compelling. This film is never especially dramatic or emotional, but it is sweetly resonant.
