Heather Lynn Movie with Japenese man

In a few of our classes we watched a movie that involved a japanese guy that was going to Iceland to do some rituals for his parents death so that souls could finally rest in peace. He didn't do very much for them when he was alive and thought that it was his duty to do this for them since he hadn't seen them in forever. He was suppose to be going to Hawaii for vacation but instead took an extra week off and began his long journey to Iceland and to the river where he chosen to perform his rituals. He encountered many "different" people on the way who made his journey a bit difficult but he eventually caught up with the right man who would help him find his way. This movie although it was VERY strange related back to some of the thigns we have talked about in previous classes. How people wonder off into the wilderness to find food or to stop for something and then they end up losing their way (when the couple steal his car) and think that there is no hope but then as they are walking along and see somthing that looks like a path (the hotel with the man who helps him in the end) they realize that they are going to make it out of the wilderness.
