Cinematic Tokyo Program
The Sigh of Language
In winter in Tokyo, a fateful encounter in front of a bright chandelier. They can't understand each other but there is a special connection between them. "What do I want to tell him…" She absorbs herself in learning French just so she can understand a voice mail he left on her phone. A pure love story to keep a promise left in a hidden message.
