Haru loves competing in Tokyo’s ballroom dance scene with her husband, Luis. But after tragedy strikes, she withdraws into isolation. When friends and family finally coax her back to the dance studio, she develops an infatuation with the new instructor. As unexpected sparks begin to fly, Haru must find a way to face the future.
Oscar®-nominated Rinko Kikuchi (BABEL, PACIFIC RIM) shines in this delightful, fantasy-fueled comedy-drama from CIFF alumnus Josef Kubota Wladyka (CATCH THE FAIR ONE, CIFF 2021).
