Marie-Lou runs a nursing home outside Paris, struggling against a system that treats care as a cost to be minimised.
When she meets Mari, a Japanese playwright who is terminally ill, the two begin a series of exchanges that bridge the cultural distance between them, and reshapes their path.
From Ryûsuke Hamaguchi (director of the phenomenal Drive My Car), All of a Sudden is a transformative film that explores connection and a radical idea of care.
