A Scene At The Sea
a TAKESHI KITANO picture
Synopsis
A deaf teenager working as a garbage collector happens upon a battered surfboard, which awakens a dream in him of becoming a surf champion. His girlfriend, also deaf, lends him her support during the difficult practice sessions and competitions. Though trapped in silence, their expression of love is no less profound. A lyrical masterpiece reminding us that images are often as powerful as words.
