Okinawan Blue

What does it mean to live on an island? To see people arrive and depart? To watch them either stay for a quick visit, or to settle for a long time? Set in the quaint, picturesque island of Zamami, Okinawan Blue explores what the island life means to its visitors and residents, weaving three strands of stories together into a sweet and moving omnibus film. A woman visits the island where her grandmother was born and learns what it means to bring the future to life with her partner. A father who left his son on the island comes back in an attempt to make amends. A man whose wife left him for another man has to deal with the reasons he decided to stay and live on the island after all these years. (Hawaii International Film Festival)
