Directed by Patrick Dickinson | Japan/UK | 2023 | 1h 34m | Starring Ciarán Hinds, Aoife Hinds, Lily Franky, Miki Maya, Isy Suttie

After his wife’s passing, Kenzaburo receives an unexpected letter from beyond the grave. In it, his late wife asks him to take their son to Lake Windermere in England to scatter her ashes. Haunted by both the joy and sorrow of their shared past, he embarks on the journey from Tokyo to fulfil her final wish. With a heartfelt performance from Lily Franky (Shoplifters), Patrick Dickinson’s deeply emotional debut is a poignant exploration of family, love, and forgiveness.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
