A mixed race couple living in Vancouver contemplate a move back to Japan, the husband’s native country. This sometimes tender, sometimes bracingly raw family drama is brought to life through intricate marionettes and carefully orchestrated camerawork. While the characters may be played by puppets, the emotional resonance is recognizably human.
