She forms a deep supportive friendship with Mari, a Japanese theatre director facing terminal cancer and the two women join forces in a shared struggle to make the impossible possible. Drawing inspiration from a book of letters between a terminally ill philosopher and a medical anthropologist, Ryûsuke Hamaguchi's (Drive My Car) new feature, All of a Sudden (Soudain), is a poignant drama about friendship, illness, art, and the responsibilities of care, creating a film that makes the world seem gentler, more open, and more humane.
