The Goddess of 1967

JM a young Japanese salary-man, leads a solitary uneventful life in Tokyo. But he dreams of owning a very special car, a late ‘60’s Citroën DS, the legendary model DS (in French: Déesse, or "Goddess"). Via the internet he gets in contact with a potential seller and flies to Australia to close the deal. At the airport, however, his contact is nowhere to be seen and when JM goes to visit him at his home he finds the man and his wife dead, and a young blind girl – BG – guarding a small child. She invites the visitor to test-drive the DS, and, as he is at once seduced, offers to take him to meet the real owner. JM agrees, and together the two of them embark on a journey that take them deep into the Australian outback, and also into her own pasts.
