After the sudden loss of his wife, grumpy and apathetic Sano returns to the island where he and Nagi first met: the seaside town of Izu. With his friend Miyata by his side, the two rediscover the island in the shadow of Sano’s mourning, as early memories of meeting Nagi return to Sano and everyday objects take on new meaning.

“Super Happy Forever” whimsically shows how memories are as much in our bodies as they are in our minds and how visiting certain places again acts as portals for a richer understanding than musing on things in our heads. It urges us not to be afraid of losing our experiences to time. Our memories are like the waves that crash against the coast: gone for a moment, but then here in the next. – Roger Ebert.com
