What a delightful treat of a film about the friendship of strangers
The whole film is beautifully shot with just natural acting from a small mixed cast of Korean, Japanese and Chinese actors. The leading lady is the lovely sooyoung Choi best known for her parts in 'So I Married an Anti-Fan and Run On.
As I said in the title it is a simple film Yumi (Sooyoung Choi) arrives in Nagoya, Japan looking for her long term boyfriend and fiancé who is working there but has stopped contacting her, she finally tracks him down and finds him living in an apartment, married to a Japanese lady. After the shock of this she she goes to leave Nagoya but instead ends up at a small Cafe/guest house down a dead end road. Here she meets the owner Nishiyama and a colourful group of locals and guests, who through their friendship and kindness help yumi to heal her broken heart and bring some happiness in her life once more.
And that's the film, there is no Romance no drama, except when she finds out her fiancé is married, it's just a simple but lovely film, perfect if you just want an hour and half escape from the drudge of normal life.
