I don't quite know.

I've never seen a drawing of

a koala in soy sauce.

People change.

We all change.

Things change.

No.

People do not change.

Things might.

But people do not.

No?

No.

Yes?

I told you not to call me.

I know we had a deal.

But deals can be undone.

I'll return all the money

with an extra fifty percent.

These are the rules.

Do not call again.

I told you

not to call back.

Today is the day of wrath!

Liberate

all your stress and anger!

Enrage!

Enough!

Finish!

I will refund you.

I said I would take the job but

now I'm saying no.

Will you go to the police?

Listen, I'm offering to

return the money

plus 50 per cent

for breach of contract.

Nobody will force me to do

something that I will not do.

Do you hear? Nobody.

Why don't you shut up?

Shut the hell up!

He called me stupid.

Idiot?

A**hole.

I loved her.

She loved no one.

That's because we will never know, right?

No. I guess not.

Sometimes I wonder

if Ryu would have liked if

I did something for her.

If, eventually she would have asked

have asked

for something more than

my silent company.

I know there are voices

lingering from the Edo period

trapped in the dark spots

between buildings in Tokyo.

Perhaps the words are different,

but Ryu was right

when she said

that people never change.

Nagara-San, it's David.

I just want to say

I'm going to leave Japan.

I know that you do not want

to hear from me anymore,

I blame myself for

Midori's death,

but I want you to know

I loved your daughter.

Bye.

Days after the death of Ryu,

the market reopened

to tourists.

For its part,

the workers forgot

little by little what had happened,

although no one really knew

what had actually happened.

I try not to think about how

different things could have been

the things between us all,

because now it is too late.

Maybe it was too late

from the beginning.

I know Ryu would have

liked to know that David,

when he returned to Barcelona,

spent some time without knowing

who he was or where he was,

thinking only about

the long-haired girl

who liked strawberry sticky

rice cakes.

Later,

he opened a store for

Japanese products

where every Friday

he had tastings of sake.

- David, you coming?

- Be right there.

David longed for another life.

But he kept in his heart

a secret room shaped like

a train carriage

where Ryu always waited for him.

Isabel Coixet

Isabel Coixet Castillo (Catalan pronunciation: [izəˈβɛɫ kuˈʃɛt]; born 9 April 1960) is a Spanish film director. She is one of the most prolific film directors of contemporary Spain, having directed twelve feature-length films since the beginning of her film career in 1988, in addition to documentary films, shorts and commercials. Her films follow a departure from traditional national cinema of Spain, and help to “untangle films from their national context, ... clearing the path for thinking about national film from different perspectives.” The recurring themes of “emotions, feelings and existential conflict” coupled with her distinct visual style secure the “multifaceted (she directs, writes, produces and acts)” filmmaker's status as a “Catalan auteur”. more…
