[ノルウェイの森 01] • La Ballade De L’impossible

Toru, a quiet and preternaturally serious young college student in Tokyo, is

devoted to Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman, but their mutual

passion is marked by the tragic death of their best friend years before. Toru

begins to adapt to campus life and the loneliness and isolation he faces

there, but Naoko finds the pressures and responsibilities of life unbearable.

As she retreats further into her own world, Toru finds himself reaching out to

others and drawn to a fiercely independent and sexually liberated young woman.

A poignant story of one college student's romantic coming-of-age, **Norwegian

Wood** takes us to that distant place of a young man's first, hopeless, and

heroic love.
