Tandem Road

Sinopsis Film

Tandem Road is a documentary that follows Masato Namekawa, a veteran assistant director, and his partner Ayumi Hasegawa, on an epic road trip by motorcycle in which they try to circumnavigate the globe. Starting in Fukushima, Ayumi’s hometown, the two travelled 60,000 km through 30 unfamiliar countries over the course of 427 days. The human story at the heart of this gruelling feat is the growth of Ayumi, who wanted to start the journey to escape workplace stresses in the film industry. She initially regrets her decision to travel but the beautiful landscapes, the kind people she meets, and the bond she forms with Namekawa help her to grow.
