Les mouchoirs jaunes du bonheur

A newly minted ex-convict sets off across Hokkaido with two unlikely companions to solicit a yellow handkerchief from his estranged spouse. Ten days on the road, one yellow hankie, and a trio of strangers who might just outlast the marriage. The real journey proves the reunion was never the point.
