After watching this Japanese road movie, I cried for a long time in front of the screen 😢. It tells the story of 42-year-old Yoko (Rinko Kikuchi), a "Freeter" who has given up on her dreams and is almost disconnected from society, embarking on a 658-kilometer journey home after learning of the death of her father, with whom she had no relationship for 20 years.🚗 A Journey of Reconciliation with Oneself Because she was accidentally left behind by her family at a highway rest stop, penniless, Yoko had to hitchhike to her father's funeral. Along the way, she encountered all sorts of strangers, and also seemed to encounter her past self trapped in the past. The most wonderful part of the film is that she even encountered the ghost of her deceased father on the road. These 658 kilometers represent not only a geographical distance, but also her emotional journey of stepping out of her closed-off inner world and reconciling with her father and the past.<br />#Yoko'sJourney658km #JapaneseFilm #RoadMovie #HealingFilm #RinkoKikuchi #ReconcilingWithYourself #MovieRecommendation #WeekendMovieWatching #MovieNotes #JapaneseHealingFilm
