Recalling IMAMURA Shohei’s sensational documentary, A Man Vanishes, this poignant and incisive human drama from director KUBOTA, renders the complex emotions of two different women left behind without closure.

Thirty years have passed since Tomiko’s (TANAKA Yuko) much-loved husband disappeared without a trace on the remote northern island of Sado. The island experienced a kidnapping incident by North Korean agents in the past. Was he another victim?

Her aimless and drifting life is woken up by meeting Nami (ONO Machiko), another woman who has been searching for her own missing husband for two years. One day, Tomiko coincidentally spots Nami’s missing husband (ANDO Masanobu) in town...

Can people truly vanish without trace? And, how long can the love you had survive?
