Atsushi Kuwayama

The ultimate wish-fulfillment tale of a teenage Gran Turismo player whose gaming skills won him a series of Nissan competitions to become an actual professional racecar driver.

A Japanese man called Sushi sets off travelling in a camper that is the same age as him, in southern Portugal. He is looking for a legendary spring that could cure his broken heart. On the road, the door of his vehicle opens onto many encounters. Stumbling along, the people he meets and the drinks he shares will help him find his way and question what love is.

One night in Lisbon, a Japanese man helps an elderly Portuguese woman on crutches ascend a massive set of stairs. Their amusing encounter and surprising connection, despite major language barriers, rivals any Richard Linklater romance or Aaron Sorkin walk-and-talk for humour and admission.
