When their hearts resonate with each other, the world is filled with music. A beautiful harmony of music and images! Japan's first genuine classical film is finally born! The DVD version of the nationwide roadshow hit film! Based on Akira Saso's masterpiece comic, which won the Osamu Tezuka Cultural Award for Excellence and the Japan Media Arts Festival Excellence Award. Directed by the brilliant Koji Hagiuda, who won high acclaim both in Japan and abroad with "Homecoming," and scripted by Kosuke Mukai of "Linda Linda Linda" fame, the film is a masterpiece with a new yet nostalgic warmth. The main character, Uta, is played by Riko Narumi, a 14-year-old actress who gained attention for her roles in the dramas "Ruri no Shima" and "1 Litre no Nada. The role of Wao is played by Kenichi Matsuyama, a young actor who has made his big break with "Death Note" and "Yamato" and is now attracting the most attention.

A 13-year-old girl named Uta, who is blessed with a talent for the piano, is hailed as a "child prodigy," but she is unable to use her talent to its fullest. She is forbidden to play ball games and always wears gloves in her cramped life, and the pressure from her mother, who devotes everything to her daughter's talent, and her father, who went missing on a performance tour abroad, weighs heavily on her mind. Then one day, Uta meets Wao, a music school dropout. Through her interaction with Wao, Uta awakens to the true joy of music and the warmth of human connection.
