Program Note
Yasuo Takamatsu, lost his wife Yuko in the tsunami during the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011. Unable to get over the sadness and sense of loss, he obtains a diving license and searches the sea every couple of weeks trying to locate his lost wife, who disappeared after sending him a text saying, “I want to go home”. Through Takamatsu’s story this documentary explores the ideas of loss and recovery in unexpected disasters, dwelling on that catastrophic moment and asking “Would she be alive if I’d picked her up from the bank where she was working? What should I have done?” He tries to accept her death and find the strength to recover from his bereavement. Many survivors have left the town to forget their painful memories, but he remains, searching for his wife’s body among the debris. In the process, he sometimes returns some of the everyday things he finds to their owners. In the end, this documentary becomes one about recovery and love. (CHO Hyeyoung)
