In this hybrid documentary, the Oregon filmmaker follows a middle-aged Japanese man and his young female student on a trip through Southwest America. The fictional narrative, which was invented by the people in separate interviews, questions the surface truth of the film's circumstances while perhaps pointing to a greater truth in the pair's relationship. The travelers roam the empty landscapes of Utah and Arizona until the girl mysteriously disappears. With a unique jazz score by percussionist Dave Storrs, this delicately structured sketch leaves a haunting question mark and a vivid sense of longing and loss.
