  DIRECTOR's Note

      Mutsuyo was my roommate when I was still a student in New York. We happened to be from the same city, Kobe. Indeed, we discovered we discovered we attended schools very close to each other. We used to say how small the world is.

       Three years after we met, it was Mutsuyo who first called and informed me about the earthquake. I had started working and living on my own at that time. That day in January 1995, when I came home, I found her voice message telling me that Kobe was devastated.

      After countless frantic attempts over the course of the day, I could was finally able to reach my family by phone, but Mutsuyo could not. The only element dividing life and death was where they slept on that particular night.

      This film is my search for an answer to many big questions about our small, precious, and fragile lives.
