Kogo, a Japanese filmmaker, has come to spend a few days in Pantin with an old friend. He is avoiding work. An incorrect address, the Romainville weather tower, a symposium about failure in art, a woman in blue, and another in a fur hat will totally mess up his plans.
Akihiro Hatamoto
Akihiro, a native japanese filmmaker living in Paris, came to Japan to interview survivors for a documentary celebrating the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Deeply moved by the interviews, he decided to take a break and wanders through the city during which he meets Michiko, a merry and enigmatic young woman. Michiko takes him for a joyful and improvised journey from the city towards the sea where the horrors of the past are mingled to the simplicity of the present.
