Doris Dorrie's film portrays a retired Bavarian couple, Rudy and Trudi, as they enter a new chapter of their lives marked by aging. Trudi finally coaxes Rudi to leave the quiet and comfort of their home to travel by train to visit their children and grandchildren in Berlin. They find themselves outsiders in the busy and fast-paced urban world of their young family--an uncomfortable distance seems to separate them all.
The trip sparks memories in Trudi of earlier travels when she was a free-spirited Butoh dancer in Japan. Even though she traded all that for the stability of domestic life, Trudi left her family with the mystery of her passion for all things Japanese. A sudden loss brings the family together in unexpected ways and the film takes the viewer on a fascinating journey to Tokyo and into the world of Butoh, a magical backdrop for personal transformation.

About Me
- Pretty Good Movie
- Moviewatching is like looking out a window into all the possible ways human beings experience their world. Since we can only have our own experience, this watching allows one to take in a little bit more of what is out there and be better able to step into what is possible. A few good films wake you up. Too many bad ones puts you to sleep.
