A patient, dreamlike documentary about the after-effects of the 2011 Tsunami in Japan. Director Jennifer Rainsford's soft-spoken, minimal narration connects the various threads of biology, earth science, psychology, philosophy, and folklore into this meditative essay on the effects of trauma on humans and nature—all docs that use voice-over should take note!
