Description:

Inspired by a true story, "The Phone of the Wind" invites audiences into a poignant journey with Haru. From Hiroshima, she returns to her hometown in Iwate Prefecture, where she discovers a deeply moving phenomenon: the Winds Telephone. This is no ordinary phone booth, but a pristine white structure nestled in a tranquil garden, containing a black telephone utterly devoid of any connection to lines or wires.

Here, people gather, drawn by a shared longing, to speak into the receiver – conversing with those who have passed away or are missing. It's a sanctuary for grief, remembrance, and the profound human need for connection. As Haru navigates her own path, she encounters a diverse tapestry of individuals, each carrying their unique stories and sorrows, all seeking solace at this silent communication point. Haru's experiences, interwoven with these encounters, explore the powerful themes of healing, memory, and the enduring bonds that transcend absence, all centered around the extraordinary purpose of the Winds Telephone.
