Sound of Waves
Umi’s hearing is so sensitive that even notes played slightly out-of-tune give her a headache. Violinist Yuko arrives from Tokyo to play a concert on Umi’s small island near Okinawa, and gradually befriends the girl. Both struggle with friendships and family relationships, but are brought together by music.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a delicate narrative around the contrast between urban noise and island silence, exploring how acute hearing mirrors emotional sensitivity. It relies on minimalism, where glances and pauses carry more weight than dialogue, and music functions as a central character.
What lingers after viewing is a sense of quiet recognition—the feeling of a pure, slightly melancholic chord that resonates long after the screen fades to black. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Kaze Shindo
