The Pitch: Two documentary filmmakers score an interview with an elusive legendary actress who had mysteriously retired 30 years earlier. While she walks them through her life from her childhood in war-torn Japan to her career as one of the most beloved screen icons in the country, they find themselves transformed from observers to participants in her life and her movies, aiding the actress in her eternal search for a man with whom she met and fell in love with as a teenager.
