NORWEGIAN WOOD

Sinopsis

In 1960s Tokyo, Toru is a quiet and serious college student trying to find his place in a world shaped by loneliness, friendship, and loss. His strongest connection is with Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman whose life, like his own, remains marked by the tragic death of their closest friend years earlier. As Toru adjusts to university life, Naoko struggles increasingly with the weight of the past and the demands of the present, retreating into a world of her own. At the same time, Toru begins to form new relationships, including one with Midori, a fiercely independent young woman whose openness and vitality challenge the way he understands love and intimacy. Norwegian Wood is a poignant coming-of-age novel about first love, grief, desire, loneliness, and the difficult choices that shape who we become.
