    A story of seemingly impossible love

    Through many encounters across years, the two main characters are always close to being together. The whole movie feels like an eternal "will they ever?". The suspense for the viewer is increasing as time passes. A series of coincidences that make them cross paths tie them together, yet apart - "until when?".

    A lodge in the Japanese Alps of the 1940s and 1950s is the sole recurring setting.

    The viewer can feel a lot even though feelings are understated - no overly dramatic scenes or intense soundtrack needed.
