All of a Sudden - Expat Cinema Rotterdam
Marie-Lou, the director of a care home in Paris, is determined to make care radically more humane. With an innovative approach, she puts the wishes and dignity of residents at the heart of everything she does. But her idealism soon clashes with the daily reality of an overworked team. Then she meets Mari, a Japanese theatre director who is seriously ill. What begins as a chance encounter develops into an extraordinary friendship that changes the way both women look at life.
With All of a Sudden, Ryusuke Hamaguchi (Drive My Car) creates a tender, meditative film about the unexpected encounters that can change our lives. Carried by the wonderful chemistry between Efira and Okamoto, and a screenplay that leaves plenty of room for conversation, Hamaguchi shows how listening and giving someone your undivided attention can offer comfort. A film that invites you to slow down and reflect on what – and who – truly matters.
