Blue Wind Blows

My dad saw a monster here When he was a kid A monster Yeah a monster It moves between this world and the next Ao lives with his mother and little sister Kii on Sado Island in Japan He misses his father who recently disappeared without a trace although not much is spoken about it While their mother tries to deal with the loss in her own way Ao and Kii run across the island and scream at the ocean In the mysterious Sayoko who inconspicuously swipes books from the school library Ao finds a confidant Few words are needed between the two reticent dreamy children together they at once feel less alone Against the striking backdrop of an industrialised coastal town Tetsuya Tominas poetic film tells a tale of dreams loss and monsters
