ALL OF OUR HEARTBEATS ARE CONNECTED THROUGH EXPLODING STARS
With the 2011 Tsunami as a backdrop, ALL OF OUR HEARTBEATS ARE CONNECTED THROUGH EXPLODING STARS is a staggering odyssey told as an essay on grief, and on how humans and nature rebuild after trauma. It moves from the shores of Japan where Sachiko, Yasu and Satoko try to find ways to accept their loss; via rarely seen places thousands of meters below the sea level where new life-forms thrive; to one of the Hawaiian islands where a group of volunteers gather to clean a beach from Japanese tsunami debris floating in from the Ocean.
