When a bus is violently hijacked in a small
Japanese town, only three people survive:
the guilt wracked driver Makoto (Koji Yakusho 'The Eel', 'Shall We Dance'), and young brother and sister, Kozue and
Naoki.
Two years on, each of them, still trauma-
tised by their ordeal, struggle to re-engage with life. But then one day Makoto im-
pulsively buys a bus, and sets off with
Kozue and Naoki on a long journey across
Japan, which becomes a cathartic odyssey of spiritual self-discovery.

Shinji Aoyama's beautifully shot drama is a serene and resonant meditation on the psychological
scars wrought upon the victims of terror and violence and of the courage and inner strength
they must find to survive.
