All of our Heartbeats are Connected through Exploding Stars
ABOUT
On March 11, 2011 the largest earthquake in modern history hit Japan. Thirty minutes later, dark tsunami waves roared in over the coast of North-Eastern Japan, dragging cars, homes and lives out into the sea. Since then, Yasu has done over 100 dives in search of his lost wife. Sachiko keeps writing letters to her husband, who was taken by the wave. Satoko is a young woman who struggles with overcoming her trauma from the disaster. On the other side of the ocean, in the Hawaiian island of Kaho’olawe, a group of volunteers are gathering to clean the beach from Japanese tsunami debris floating in from the Ocean. They are all sharing the stories of the afterlife.
