A Film by Yuki Kawamura
Japan, France, 2009, 36min, HD , Color, Documentary
SYNOPSIS
The grandmother of filmmaker Yuki Kawamura dies after spending fifty days in a coma; with the whole family
we accompany her through this journey. It is an opportunity for each and everyone to reflect upon mourning,
and beyond that, upon life, its multiple forms, its disappearance as well as its inexhaustible resources, and
the signs of its infinite diversity. Life’s beauty is in water, mist and foam, in lichens and trees, in this grandmother’s dying face, and in her family’s care, affection and joking, in her children’s every word, every breath.
