Kogito Choko, haunted by the memory of his father who drowned years ago, seeks to make sense of his past and overcome a long creative crisis. Invited by his sister Asa to return to his native Shikoku, Kogito finds documents that might help him unravel the knots of his life. On this introspective journey, he meets young Unaiko, an aspiring actress with whom he begins collaborating on a theatrical screenplay, both seeking to rediscover their lost creative spark. This intense work by Kenzaburō Ōe explores deep themes such as memory, grief, and the search for personal truth, using the river as a metaphor for life and the necessity of swimming against the current to understand who we truly are.
