A deaf-dumb teenager working as a garbage collector happens upon a battered surfboard, which plants in him the dream of becoming a surf champion. His girlfriend, also deaf-dumb, lends him her support during the difficult practice sessions and competitions. Though trapped in silence, their expression of love is no less profound.
A lyrical masterpiece reminding us that images are often as powerful as words. This is Kitano’s gift.
