In 1980s Kyushu, two teenagers fell in love, and exchanged their secrets and thoughts by way of sending tape recordings to each other. More than a decade later, the boy (now grown-up and bittered) rediscovers the last recording of his long-dead lover's voice. Her words trigger a series of flashbacks illustrating the joyful beginning and tragic end of their relationship.
If you fancy some Japanese melodrama, here's a winner. Crying Out Love (a.k.a. Socrates in Love) is like two relationships in one, you could say. First we got the sweet but also strong bond between a boy and a sick girl, then we have the result of that love many years later. A bittersweet story that perhaps isn't for those who wouldn't enjoy a romance that gets very sentimental.
Genre: Drama/Romance
