Description:

"Our 30 Minute Sessions" delves into an intriguing supernatural tale of connection and closure. One year after the vibrant musician Aki Miyata's death, an introverted university student named Sota Kubota stumbles upon a mysterious cassette tape. Unbeknownst to Sota, this isn't just any tape. Playing it triggers an extraordinary event: Aki Miyata's bright and positive spirit temporarily inhabits Sota's body for precisely thirty minutes.

These fleeting sessions become Sota's unique opportunity to bridge the gap between worlds. Infused with Aki's personality, Sota embarks on a poignant journey, seeking out Aki's former girlfriend, Kana Murase, and his other bandmates. The film explores themes of loss, second chances, and the lingering impact of a life well-lived, as Aki, through Sota, attempts to find peace, offer comfort, and perhaps inspire the shy student to step out of his shell. Each 30-minute encounter is a powerful, time-sensitive exploration of memory and connection.
