'IKIGAI' - Documentary

A cup of coffee in the morning, a walk in nature, a favorite book, or a family visit – "Ikigai" can be found in many things and differs from person to person.
Ikigai is everything that makes life worth living. Those who have found their Ikigai claim to have happier, more balanced, and calmer lives - while the world around them seems to be increasing its speed day by day.

This documentary allows viewers to enter the world of the Japanese concept of "Ikigai". Filmmakers Sophia Klimpel Akahoshi and Jana Niehoff travel to Japan to understand the concept, meet people who talk about their Ikigai, and explain how this philosophy of life is often misunderstood in Western countries.
