How far would you travel to fulfil somebody's wish?

Some stories are spoken. Some are written in the stars.

When British historian Will meets Aiko, a Japanese calligraphy and haiku specialist, at a summer exhibition in London, neither of them realises that a single wish will change their lives forever. Their growing relationship leads them from London to Japan, where an unexpected loss leaves Will carrying one final promise.

As he follows a trail shaped by love, memory and hope, Will discovers the timeless beauty of Japan through its traditions, from the beauty of cherry blossom to the wonder of the Tanabata Star Festival. Along the way, he learns that the most important wishes are the ones we fulfil for others.

A moving story about grief, love and the beauty and impermanance of life, Across the Milky Way celebrates love, family, human connection and the beauty of life's fleeting moments.
