Voices in the Wind ( Kaze no Denwa ) is a 2020 Japanese film about a fictional high school student who lost her family in the Tohoku tsunami and returns to her hometown to visit the wind phone years later.
Abseloutely devastating, definitely knowing that this movie is based on events that happend in real life. Troughout the movie i felt so much compassion for Haru it saddens me that there are actually people who went trough what Haru had gone trough. This film is slow but a beautiful making. All the characters you will meet troughout this film all have such melancholic stories but i found this beautfiul how each and one of our lifes are so different from each other. The actress Serena Motola suited her character Haru very well! The ending was very beauteous it was like Haru finally let go of her family and accepted that her family was gone even beside that she still choice to continue living.
The wind phone stands on a hill in Namiita, Otsuchi, Iwate Prefecture. Since the 2011 earthquake and tsunamis more than 30,000 people have come to speak their hearts to those wo are no longer here.
