Windy

This debut directorial effort from Takaharu Shimizu presents a visually evocative exploration of identity and fleeting connections. The narrative unfolds through the lens of a musical performance, centered around the debut single "windy" by poet toto. The film captures a specific atmosphere – a blend of urban melancholy and introspective beauty, emphasizing subtle emotional shifts over grand narrative gestures.

Focus is given to the performers and their interactions within a carefully constructed environment, suggesting themes of vulnerability and the ephemeral nature of shared moments. The film’s strength lies in its understated storytelling and visual composition, offering a contemplative experience rather than a fast-paced plot. It invites viewers to engage with nuanced character portrayals and the poetics embedded within both sound and image.
