In “Drive My Car”, Kafuku and Oto are a couple that radiates beauty for everyone around. Kafuku, by chance, catches a glimpse of his wife’s infidelity, and without probing into the reasons, he’s suddenly faced with her unexpected death. Fast forward two years, Kafuku finds himself invited to direct a play at a theater festival in Hiroshima. It’s here that he crosses paths with Misaki, his loyal driver.
In the quiet moments of driving, Misaki silently chauffeurs Kafuku while they listen to a tape recorded by Kafuku’s late wife, practicing lines for the play. Within the stillness of the car, these two gradually open up to each other, realizing that both are still entangled in the pain of their pasts. As they navigate the snow-covered landscapes of Hokkaido, they begin to delve into the profound sadness that has taken root deep within each of them.
