Abstract:
Armed with just his suitcase and a sax, cosmopolitan musician Alex returns home to Hawaii, having been away for nearly a decade. He takes refuge in a Buddhist B&B with a woman named Akiko. Alex’s experimental free jazz music at first collides with the sounds of Akiko’s meditation, but as the film evolves and a friendship develops, the two harmonize. Nominated for Best First Film at the **Rotterdam International Film Festival.** Winner of the Emerging Filmmaker Award at the **San Diego Asian Film Festival**. "*Transcendently inventive.*" - Richard Brody, ***The New Yorker***
