Cherry Blossoms

Dorris Dorrie, Director

2008 | 127 | Feature

German filmmaker Doris Dorrie (Men) presents a tender parable about life's impermanence, the importance of family and the vitality of staying engaged with the world. A long-married couple, Rudi (Elmar Wepper) and Trudi (Hannelore Elsner), are a portrait in opposites: he craves the familiar, while she loves change. After his world is altered permanently, Rudi travels to Tokyo to see his troubled son and newly discover two of Trudi's enthusiasms: butoh and Mount Fuji. "Gentle, intelligent, full of warm humor..."
