Hakubo delves into the enchanting daily life of Sachi Koyama, a remarkably talented high school violinist. While Sachi flourishes in her academic pursuits and finds solace among like-minded musicians in the club, her heart truly sings when she embarks on solitary walks to her bus stop, basking in the breathtaking scenery of her hometown in Iwaki, Fukushima. Amidst one of Sachi's captivating evening strolls, fate intercedes as she crosses paths with Yuusuke Kijinami, a familiar face from their shared bus journeys. In a serendipitous twist, Sachi extends a helping hand to Kijinami, assisting him in discovering the perfect vantage point to capture the splendor of a sunset for his upcoming art club exhibition. It is within this convergence that the unbreakable bond between these two kindred spirits is forged, as they collectively relish the ephemeral beauty of the present moment, acutely aware of its fleeting nature.
Hakubo, the breathtaking culmination of Yutaka Yamamoto's remarkable Tohoku Trilogy, stands as a veritable beacon of hope amidst the aftermath of the devastating 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. With a noble intention of aiding the restoration efforts, this cinematic masterpiece ventures beyond its realms to make a profound impact on its audience. A noble cause, the films were initially set to be crowdfunded, but regrettably fell short of the targeted funds. Nonetheless, their significance remains unparalleled.
