Magic Kimono tells a tale about a middle-aged Japanese woman Keiko, who is living in a shell for the past years due to a family tragedy. Unwillingly she joins a group of Japanese women travelling to Northern Europe to participate in kimono show. During her performance in a fairytale-like art nouveau Riga, she is suddenly faced with her husband, who disappeared twenty years ago and has now returned to give their relationship a second chance. The encounter is a strange one, as the husband looks mysterious and almost otherworldly. In the middle of despair, Keiko strolls the city meeting young chef by accident. Through a joint cooking show, the two souls develop a connection with food becoming a language between the different cultures of Japan and Europe. With husband’s support, Keiko’s experiences gradually bring her out of her shell and provide her a new lease on life. (Estonian Film Institute)
