The Furthest End Awaits, set at the edge of the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, with its beautiful scenic views, revolves around two women from different backgrounds who develop a friendship, and how they begin to influence and change each other’s lives.

Misaki is a coffee expert roaster who returns to the hometown of her father, after he is reported to be dead. There she opens a coffee shop on the isolated beach. A relationship with her neighbour Eriko and her children evolves.

Note: To us, The Furthest End Awaits is one of the sweetest, most humane films we watched in quite some time.
