THE HEIGHT OF THE COCONUT TREES
A FILM BY DU JIE


SYNOPSIS

In a quiet small town in rural Japan, Aoki, a cook, and Sugamoto, a pet shop worker, find comfort in their daily routine, sharing lunch together in the park. Their peaceful lives as young lovers shift when Sugamoto discovers a ring inside a fish and gifts it to Mochida in an awkward proposition.

Meanwhile, in a distant seaside village, innkeeper Mochida takes over an old small hotel, where the memory of Rin, a guest of the inn, lingers in eerie silence. When Sugamoto visits the inn, the past and present begin to dissolve into one another. Mochida, sensing an ominous pattern, follows her movements, unraveling a delicate tale where love, loss, and unseen forces intertwine. As the past seeps into the present, the boundaries between memory and reality blur, leaving behind a lingering question—was it love that endured, or something else entirely?
