April in the Sentimental Northern Town
Music Director
Somewhere far away, a man and a woman meet. Everyone has a past they want to escape, and sometimes it prevents them from taking a step into the future. The spirits of the dead who watch over those who try to live are of no help. In the land of the dead, there are thoughts and voices that cannot be heard. A letter-like style, black-and-white photogenic, and an unrelenting desire.
