The story of a traditional Kyoto woman who runs a failing kimono business and the entrepreneurial, biracial, business consultant who comes to help keep it solvent. Along the way they fall in love, but his need for change clashes with her desire for the world to stay the same. In the end, can they change enough for each other? Set in 2018, Impossible to Imagine is a film that explores issues around identity, and how Japan is struggling to adapt and become more inclusive in the modern era even in the face of rapid depopulation. Featuring beautiful tracks from Australian/Japanese composer, Hanako Ward, and a gorgeous theme song by Jeremy Lim and Sachie Sunaga, this is a film that aims to slip into your heart, and then make you think.
