“We Came to See the River” is a short film premiering at the 21st Japan Film Fest Hamburg along with a number of other short features that showcase the experimental side of Japanese cinema. It revolves around seven lost souls who come to see the river, maybe to find solace in it, and perhaps resolve the issues that are pre-occupying them.
Kazuo and Osamu are fellow actors, Kou and Minato are two friends who are having problems at home, Mugi and Shuhei are a couple whose relationship is seemingly nearing its end, and Nariko is a woman who is looking for her husband, but seems to have lost her sanity and thinks each of the male characters looks like him. The fates of these disparate individuals, united by their sorrows and their desire to see the river, eventually become entangled due to the actions of Nariko, who has lost grip on reality.
