Sidonie au Japon

Japan, today. Sidonie Perceval (Isabelle Huppert), a celebrated French writer, is still mourning her deceased husband. On the occasion of the republication of her first book, she is invited to Japan, where she is received by her local publisher. He takes her to Kyoto, the city of shrines and temples. As the two of them travel together through the Japanese spring blossom, she slowly begins to open up to Kenzo (Tsuyoshi Ihara). But the ghost of her husband Antoine (August Diehl) follows Sidonie. Only when she is finally ready to let him go will she be ready for love again.
