The movie 'The Lines That Define Me' (Yagate Umi e to Todoku) that I remember on March 11th. It will surely stay in your heart 🩵 (With updates)
When March 11thcomes around, there is a movie I remember.
That is 'The Lines That Define Me'.
Even now, years after the Great East Japan Earthquake,
this day holds a special meaning for me.
Watching the news and special features,
and reflecting on the memories of that time.
It is a day where I quietly
feel within myself
that it is a day we must not forget.

This film is a story about the time
left for those who remain after losing a loved one.

— Recommended points of this movie
① It is a story with a quiet lingering effect,
The charm of this movie is, above all, its quiet atmosphere.
It is not that there is
a big drama,
but the expressions of the characters and
each of their conversations remain in your heart.
It is a work that very carefully
scoops up the small emotions within daily life.
② When facing loss, when you have lost a loved one,
how do people go on living?
You cannot just move forward immediately.
At the same time,
you cannot stay standing still forever either.
This movie
calmly and beautifully depicts the heart wavering between those two states.
While watching it,
it makes you think about 'the time people spend facing their grief'.
③ A work that depicts 'memory' and 'time',
As time passes, daily life gradually returns.
You can laugh again.
Ordinary life continues.
Even so, it does not mean you forget completely.
The person you remember in a fleeting moment.
Memories that continue to remain in the heart.
Such a flow of time and the way memories linger are
depicted.

⸻On the day of March 11th.
When this day comes,
I once again
cherish "not forgetting."
Even if I cannot understand everything,
remembering, imagining,
keeping it in my heart.
I feel that even just that has meaning.
If there is a day when you want to feel something quietly.
If there is a time when you think of someone important.
Please try to remember the movie
'The Waves of the Sea'.
After you finish watching it,
the lingering sound of waves will surely remain in your heart.
