Documentary film, 39th Munich International Documentary Film Festival ／ Victor Prize （ Best Film ） Winner
Two directors will be on stage for a discussion with Joachim ・ Kuhn of the distributor Real Fiction after the film screening.

About 100,000 people disappear every year in Japan, some of whom receive assistance from "night-time escape agencies. Some flee unpleasant relationships, some cannot bear great social pressure, and others try to escape from criminal entanglements. In "JÔHATSU" （ "Evaporation" ）, Arata Mori and Andreas ・ Hartmann embark on a quest. Those left behind, their supporters, and those in hiding all face different challenges. New beginnings usually start with isolation. Doubts about one's own identity arise along with impatience. These two filmmakers focus on the phenomenon of evaporation, and get to the heart of human nature.
