Drive My Car (2021)

Two years after his wife's unexpected death, Yusuke Kafuku (Hidetoshi Nishijima), a renowned stage actor and director, receives an offer to direct a production of Uncle Vanya at a theater festival in Hiroshima. There, he meets Misaki Watari (Toko Miura), a taciturn young woman assigned by the festival to chauffeur him in his beloved red Saab 900. As the production's premiere approaches, tensions mount amongst the cast and crew, not least between Yusuke and Koshi Takatsuki, a handsome TV star who shares an unwelcome connection to Yusuke's late wife. Forced to confront painful truths raised from his past, Yusuke begins - with the help of his driver - to face the haunting mysteries his wife left behind.

The film was originally set in Busan, South Korea, but was changed to Hiroshima, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

When the cast are walking to the park for their outdoor rehearsal, Yoon-a and Janice appear to be having a conversation without the use of sign language on which one of them is dependent.

Opening credits start from the 41st minute.
