Hana Rushes A film editor in Tokyo discovers a collection of forgotten rushes featuring Hana, a 32-year-old Japanese landscape architect, filmed a few years earlier. As he watches her speak about her life, her parents, love and loss, the images begin to resonate with his own memories and choices. Hana remains forever alive inside the film, while the editor slowly confronts his own life outside it. Between two worlds, he comes to understand what truly matters — and chooses his own path forward.
