Do you hear the wind in the pine trees?

Do you hear the wind in the pine trees? (2024) is a documentary film directed by Axelle Lenaerts.

A young Belgian woman returns to Japan to gain insight and find peace in her past relationship with her Japanese ex-lover. She travels around Japan, observing nature as the seasons change. She is guided by the richness of the Japanese vocabulary, which has many words to describe the transience of nature and emotions that have no equivalent in Dutch or English. If she can accept this transience, she will be able to understand what happened to their love.
