Mario Kubo is a quiet man. For many, he seems lost. Disconnected from the world around him, he is not doing well. On the days where we follow his life, he seems to undergo a fundamental transformation. Mario receives a letter from Japan with undecipherable content, since he doesn’t speak Japanese. An important fact: Mario Kubo is the son of a Japanese immigrant and a Brazilian mother, daughter of Japanese immigrants. Despite considering himself Brazilian, he will always be seen as being “Japanese” by others. Due to a series of events, Kubo steps out of Freedom Station, in the Japanese neighborhood of São Paulo, after riding the last night train. Alone, he begins a journey after something that he is not quite sure what it is.
