Every last Sunday of the month, the Goethe-Institut shows independent and experimental films as well as documentaries from Germany beyond the mainstream at the Berlin Hall of the Goethe-Institut, and this month’s screening of “Kirschblüten – Hanami / Cherry Blossoms” will be held today at 6pm. Directed by Doris Dörrie, the film portrays Trudi Angermeier, who learns that her husband Rudi is terminally ill and has a short life to live. She then decides to make a journey together with him.
But in the Baltic Sea, Trudi dies unexpectedly and Rudi finds himself at the end of his rope.
As he hears that his wife has given up on her dreams to love him, he begins to see his dead wife differently and travels to Japan to live a new life.
