Synopsis
After the death of his wife, Kenzaburo (60s) and his son Toshi (30s) receive an unexpected letter from beyond the grave. Akiko, their wife and mother, asks them to scatter her ashes at the place she loved most as a child -- Lake Windermere in England.
With little knowledge of where he is going and barely any English, Kenzaburo heads to the Lake District with Akiko's ashes. As he embarks on his quest, his memories of Akiko grow more painful.

Critics
Writer-director Patrick Dickinson has a terrific eye for detail, and the cast beautifully underplays the drama, which makes it very easy to identify with the feelings
Rich Cline
A delicate gem of a film, with a powerhouse turn from Franky.
Wendy Ide, Observer
Much of its success is down to the gradually heartbreaking performance of the ever-reliable Franky, a regular star for Hirokazu Koreeda.
Josh Slater-Williams, Little White Lies
