The day the stars fell, two lives changed forever. High schoolers Mitsuha and Taki are complete strang- ers living separate lives. But one night, they suddenly switch places. Mitsuha wakes up in Taki’s body, and he in hers. This bizarre occurrence continues to happen randomly, and the two must adjust their lives around each other. Yet, somehow, it works. They build a connection and communicate by leaving notes, messages, and more importantly, an imprint. Is the string of fate between Mitsuha and Taki strong enough to bring them together, or will forces outside their control leave them forever separated?” 312.595.5600 • www.chicagoshakes.com OPENS APRIL 7 FEATURE FILM IN SEARCH OF ISRAELI CUISINE DIRECTED BY: Roger Sherman 94 mins IN SEARCH OF ISRAELI CUISINE is a portrait of the Israeli people told through food.

The film’s guide is Michael Solomonov, the James Beard award-winning chef/owner of Zahav and a number of other restaurants in Philadelphia.
