The film follows Jay, a French taxi driver based in Tokyo, who spends every day scouring the city in hope of finding Lily, his daughter who has been apart from him for nine years. Just as he’s about to leave Japan, Lily unexpectedly climbs into his taxi.
From this unexpected encounter, Une part manquante unfolds a story focused on parentage, separation, and the possibility of rebuilding a bond frayed by time. The Japanese setting is more than a backdrop: it anchors the narrative in a context where child custody after a separation becomes a deeply intimate and familial issue.
Guillaume Senez returns to a territory already familiar in his cinema: fragile family bonds and choices that bind both parents and children. After Keeper and Nos batailles, the filmmaker crafts this drama around a father in motion, caught between waiting, fatigue and a bid to make things right.
