Sidonie in Japan
2024, French. Directed by Elise Girard.
Sidonie Perceval, an established French writer, is mourning her deceased husband. Invited to Japan for the reedition of her first book, she is welcomed by her local editor who takes her to Kyoto, the city of shrines and temples.

But the ghost of her husband follows Sidonie: she will have to finally let go of the past to let herself love again.
