Michi de Hirotta Onna

[Machine Translation] Where do two people with nowhere to go go lead to? A truck and love road movie is born! The latest film by Shinji Imaoka, director of "Rekiko Iruka" (ranked No. 1 in the Best 10 Films of 2020 by Eiga Geijutsu). The main character, a long-distance truck driver named Ryuhei, is played by Manabu Hamada, who is fresh in our minds from his performance as a naive furniture maker in Imaoka's "Aitikutte, Aitikutte, Aitikutte". Nozomi, a homeless woman Ryuhei picks up on the street, is played by Sasaki Shinon, a bold and sensitive actress who has starred in films directed by Ishii Takashi, Zeze Takahisa, Yoshida Kota, and others. The cast is also co-starring Kawase Yota, Higashi Ryunosuke, Nagai Sumire, Narimatsu Osamu, and Kawakami Nanami, all of whom are rich in personality. --Ryuhei Kasukabe is a truck driver.

Ryuhei summons up his courage and chases the homeless man away, and when he tries to help the woman up, she shakes off his hand and glares at him, saying, "You saw me earlier, why didn't you help me right away? The woman, who was apparently also homeless, began to walk unsteadily away. Ryuhei approached the woman again. I'll give you 5,000 yen a day. Nozomi, who had left home a year ago for some reason, got into Ryuhei's truck. She says that she left home a year ago for some reason and is now homeless without a place to live. Ryuhei had his own reasons for not wanting to go back to his wife's house. As they travel by truck from Tokyo to Numazu and Hamamatsu, they gradually come to know each other's circumstances. Along the way, they encounter a delicatessen, a street poet, and a man being chased by the yakuza, as they continue their journey. And the answer they come up with is...
