An unexpected love triangle, a failed seduction trap and an encounter that results from a misunderstanding. Meiko is startled when she realizes that the man who her best friend starts to have feelings for, is her ex; Sasaki plots to trick his college professor out of revenge, using his class-friend-with-benefits Nao, while Natsuko encounters a woman who seems to be someone from her past, leading the two to confess the feelings they have harbored in their hearts — stories about the complexities of relationships, told through coincidences that happen in the lives of women in love. Director Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s film, “Drive My Car” is Japan’s entry into the 2022 Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film
