In her 125th film appearance, the brilliant Isabelle Huppert plays Sidonie Perceval, a famous writer and recent widow who travels to Japan to promote a new translation of her debut novel. She is accompanied on the tour by her handsome Japanese publisher and, on occasion, the ghost of her late husband. The film, like a haiku, is graceful, wistful and hauntingly romantic.
