The duo at the heart of indie rock band HaruReo have run out of words to say to each other. After years building a cult audience, they’ve sown resentment, entangled in a bubbling love triangle with their manager, and perhaps just run out of gas. On a whim, they decide that their final seven-city tour will be their last. But Haru and Reo have a chemical bond impossible to quit. When they’re onstage, it’s harmonic magic. When they’re off, they’re tied by an invisible thread that’s something approaching love. Theirs is the kind of relationship that annually celebrates the first conversation they ever had with each other: “Wanna play music with me?” Haru had asked. It’s the question that, even when they’re no longer talking, they’ll spend the rest of the movie nodding “yes” to. (San Diego Asian Film Festival)
