In Japan, two people have more in common than they think in a film about loneliness in the
modern world and about finding the courage to reconnect with life. 38 million people live in and
around Tokyo, yet many of them are so lonely that in some cases it is life-threatening. Loneliness
is so prevalent that Japan has appointed a minister for loneliness and experts speak of a social
pandemic across the modern world. In ‘Dear Tomorrow’ we meet two of them. Unbeknownst to
them, they are already connected to each other through the chat line ‘A Place for You’: a lifeline
where young volunteers try to help people in crisis. But with thousands of people writing every
day, helping everyone is a challenge.
This is a film you feel deep in your heart – not least when the light finally breaks through and they gently make the human contact they have been missing. With its sensitive and luminous images,
‘Dear Tomorrow’ is a quiet, attentive, and therefore all the more poignant film about the
universal need for contact and presence.
