An International Bestselling Author
In a mountainous area of Japan rattles the Hankyu Line train. Passengers step on and off, contemplating their existence. On the outward journey, we are introduced to the dilemmas of five characters, and on the return journey, we watch them find resolutions. A man meets the woman who always happens to borrow a library book just before he can check it out himself, a woman in a white bridal dress boards looking inexplicably sad, a university student heads home after class, a girl prepares to leave her abusive boyfriend, and an old lady discusses adopting a dog with her granddaughter.
