Notes

Movie is motivated by a true story. In 2011, Itaru Sasaki placed a white telephone booth in a garden and put a black telephone in the booth which is not connected to any wires. He did this because he wanted to talk to his late cousin who passed away in 2010. The black telephone and booth became to be called “Kaze no Denwa” (“Wind’s Telephone”). After the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, thousands of people have gone there to mourn those that passed away.
Filming begins April, 2019.
