The gift of last memories
Academy Award® winner for Best Foreign Language Film, Departures is a delightful journey into the heartland of Japan as well an astonishingly beautiful look at a sacred part of Japan’s cultural heritage.
Departures follows Daigo Kobayashi, a devoted cellist in an orchestra that has just been dissolved and who is suddenly left without a job. Daigo decides to move back to his old hometown with his wife to look for work and start over. He experiences a profound and sometimes comical journey as he uncovers the wonder, joy and meaning of life and living.
Presented by Consulate-General of Japan in Auckland, The Japan Foundation and The University of Waikato
