Sound of Love
An exploration of obsession, the senses, and sensuality, where finding the line between social and parasocial becomes all too difficult.
Cleaning worker Moriya seeks solace from his isolated existence listening to the ASMR streams of a mysterious online creator who goes by the name Akiha. Moriya’s fixation on Akiha’s videos threatens to destroy his personal and professional lives, but he still can’t help pursuing some deeper connection. He reaches out to Akiha, and the two unexpectedly develop a relationship, first entirely online and soon IRL. But Moriya’s obsession only grows, and their strange bond soon sends them down a dangerous path that just may consume them both. More details & tickets
