The Harimaya Bridge Trailer (2009)

Foreign trailer for The Harimaya Bridge, which screened at the 2009 Hawaii International Film Festival.

Daniel Holder's father was killed fighting the Japanese during World War II, something he thought he had made peace with until the recent discovery that his father was killed in a very cruel and brutal way. When his beloved son Mickey takes a job in Japan teaching English, it creates a rift between them.

Mickey dies in a traffic accident, and Daniel's profound regret at their estrangement is matched only by his increasing resentment towards Japan. Despite these feelings, he goes there to retrieve precious items belonging to his son.

Daniel is welcomed in Kochi by Mickey's former colleagues. While he sees that his son was loved by the people there, he rejects the kindness shown towards him, preferring to hold onto his hatred. But a series of unexpected discoveries about Mickey forces Daniel to reassess his feelings for Japan and the life he will henceforth lead.
