The 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami destroyed large parts of the small town of Rikuzentakata. Here, Hiromi ABE hosts a radio show in which she reports on local events and interviews the residents. She focuses not only on the time after the disaster and the ongoing rebuilding of the community, but also on recording personal stories. Haruka KOMORI, who shot this film at the same time as TRACE OF BREATH (winner of the NIPPON VISIONS JURY AWARD 2018), followed her protagonist from 2013 to 2018 to paint an intimate portrait.
