Route 29
(RU-TO 29)
A lonely 30-something cleaner, who struggles with even basic communication, unwittingly kidnaps a young girl to reunite her with her mother. As they traverse the picturesque Route 29 across Western Japan, the two misfits start to forge a bond, learning about human connection from the many strangers—surreal, wacky, and wise—they chance upon along the way. Moments of darkness and light dapple the path of this bittersweet yet hopeful sojourn.
