Dear NOZOMI
Mae Hong Son, Thailand, home of many hill tribes. It was here that Kotaka met and fell in love with Nozomi, a girl of the Kayan people, a tribe especially known for the brass neck coils worn by their women. At the time, Nozomi was a twenty-year-old beauty and could speak three different languages. In dedication to Nozomi, Kotaka created a video love letter. The documentary film opens with Kotaka’s first meeting with Nozomi and concludes with his visit one and a half years later.
