Two Masters of Cinema: Yamada Yoji and Yoshinaga Sayuri

Yamada Yoji is a master of Japanese films, from the "It's Tough Being a Man" series to "The Yellow Handkerchief." Yoshinaga Sayuri is said to be Japan's last true film star, playing only lead roles in film after film. We recorded behind the scenes as this 92-year-old and 78-year-old work on a new production. While confronting his age, Yamada never compromises in directing on the set. His attention is focused on Yoshinaga. "If Yamada was the director, this would be the perfect finale." What thoughts lie behind Yoshinaga's words? These two superstars show us their devotion to film, and ask us to consider the meaning of happiness.
