Synopses

Before We Forget Kindness

In a mysterious Tokyo café known for welcoming those who hope to travel back in time, four new guests arrive with private, unfinished moments they long to revisit. Among them are a father unable to accept his daughter’s marriage, and a woman who missed her chance to give Valentine’s chocolates to someone she loves.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold

Four visitors come to the café to make use of its time-travelling offer, each driven by a different need. Their reasons include confronting someone who left them, receiving a letter from a husband whose memory has been taken by Alzheimer’s, seeing a sister one last time, and meeting a daughter they never had the chance to know.

Tales from the Cafe

Translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, this instalment returns to the question of what you would do if you could go back in time. It also asks who you would choose to meet, perhaps for a final conversation.

Before Your Memory Fades

On the hillside of Mount Hakodate in northern Japan, Café Donna Donna is famed for its views over Hakodate port, but its real secret lies elsewhere. Customers are offered the extraordinary experience of travelling through time.

Before We Say Goodbye

At the magical Café Funiculi Funicula, the regulars know the legend well, along with its extraordinary time-travel offering hidden on a secret menu. The café remains a place where the past can be approached in unexpected ways.
