Sound of the Waves

The “conversations” of people living in the Sanriku coastal area, which was devastated by the tsunami on March 11, 2011. An record in which close friends, such as sisters, couples, and firefighters, talk to each other and talk about the disaster.

The directors tried to convey the memory of the disaster to future generations by recording people’s “emotions” kindled by their conversations, rather than the tragic images of the disaster areas. As the filming progresses, the two directors also have many conversations with each other, and their attitude of accepting the disaster as an event that concerns them personally becomes stronger.
