Plot

Sandy Edwards (played by Toni Collette) is a joint director in a company designing geological software; however for the next week she has been forced into the position of a glorified tour guide in the hope that her client will purchase her product. When Tachibana Hiromitsu (Gotaro Tsunashima) arrives, Sandy immediately is left cold by him; he speaks little to her and seems uncomfortable – only ever telling her where he wants to go. On a trip to the middle of the desert their vehicle gets bogged down, forcing them to spend the night trapped. The next day they are free and the ice is broken between them, starting a friendship between them that, with nothing around them to distract or interrupt, grows quickly and honestly. Antonia Collette (born November 1, 1972 in Blacktown, New South Wales) is an Australian actress. ...

In the end, Hiromitsu dived into a very shallow and murky river and dies. Sandy tried to rescue her, but she panics and he dies. She takes him to an undertaker and travels to Japan to see Hiromitsu's wife.
