Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A depressed American businessman (Matthew McConaughey) makes a pilgrimage to Aokigahara, Japan's notorious "Sucide Forest," with intentions to kill himself. But a chance encounter with a badly injured Japanese man (Ken Watanabe) awakens the desire to live within both of them. As they partner together to struggle their way out of the dense forest, they slowly open up about the traumas that brought them there. ~ Violet LeVoit, Rovi
