Not only that, but while the Uncle Vanya play was largely a footnote in the original story, in the movie, it's central to the plot, as many of the characters, both old and new, have their arcs happen from being involved with the play. The first forty minutes, for example, are devoted to Kafuku’s relationship with his wife, Oto, and showing Kafuku struggle with her affairs up until her death, none of which was shown in the original short story. The original short story is focused largely on Kafuku and Misaki, and while that’s a major part of the movie, the movie expands on a lot of the elements of the original plot to create a much larger story. The basic framework of each version of Drive My Car is the same, but the Academy Award-nominated film still ends up with a lot of differences from the short story.

Both versions of the story are centered around Kafuku, a theater actor who was widowed two years prior before he had the chance to confront his wife about her multiple affairs. HBO Max's Drive My Car is an adaptation of the Haruki Murakami short story of the same name, which was part of a larger collection called Men Without Women.
