COTTONTAIL コットンテール

This Japan-Britain co-production is a universal portrait of love, acceptance and family loss that quietly ponders the commonalities between the two cultures.

After the death of his wife, Kenzaburo and his son Toshi receive an unexpected letter from beyond the grave. Akiko is asking them to scatter her ashes at the place she loved most as a child – Lake Windermere in England. With little knowledge of where he is going and barely any English, Kenzaburo abandons his family in London and heads to the Lake District by himself… Lost and weary he stumbles onto the doorstep of a farmer and his daughter. With their help, he is finally able to get back on course. But his true journey toward forgiveness and reconciliation will prove the hardest of all. Understated, poetic and deeply moving. Winner the Best First Film Award at the Rome Film Festival.
