DRIVE MY CAR is a masterful, moving and multi award-winning film from Ryusuke Hamaguchi (WHEEL OF FORTUNE AND FANTASY), based on the short story of the same name by international bestselling author Haruki Murakami.

Two years later, Kafuku, still unable to fully cope with the loss of his wife, receives an offer to direct a play at a theater festival in Hiroshima. There, he meets Misaki (Toko Miura), a reserved young woman assigned to be his chauffeur. As they spend time together, Kafuku confronts the mystery of his wife that quietly haunts him.
