Departures

Academy Award® Winner for Best Foreign Language Film of the year, "Departures" is a delightful and sensitive journey into the heartland of Japan and an astonishingly beautiful look at a sacred part of Japan's cultural heritage.

The story revolves around a symphony orchestra celloist who is forced to make a career change by the circumstances, and somehow tumbles and fumbles into a very unique world of "encoffination". The lead actor portrays the struggles of working a well-paid and not understood job, and his relationships with the people around him.

A truly touching film that will somehow make you tear regardless how strong you are.

Not to forget Ryoko Hirosue as a main lead actress as well. She's still as cute as ever, despite being married with children.
