Forced to confront painful truths raised from his past, Yusuke begins - with the help of his driver â to face the haunting mysteries his wife left behind. Adapted from Haruki Murakamiâs short story, Ryusuke Hamaguchiâs Drive My Car is a haunting road movie traveling a path of love, loss, acceptance, and peace.
