Film Synopsis
How do a man and a woman meet and fall in love? Is it destiny,
luck or the outcome of a series of seemingly random and unconnected
little events? Everyone knows about the butterfly effect, that
one small incident can lead to another much more significant outcome
later on. This is precisely how Irène came to meet her
true love, not by divine intervention, but by the strange
interconnectedness of all things...
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
