      [introduction]
      In a future universe enveloped by a tranquil peace, the human race has been drastically reduced by numerous disasters. The world is populated by 80 percent robots and 20 percent humans. SUZUKI Yoko, an android travelling to various planets with a computer partner in a retro space ship, is a courier for an interstellar service that delivers packages to humans. She lands on a “whispering planet” where humans are in danger of dying if sounds over 30 decibels are made…. What began as a script and storyboards written in 1990, “The Whispering Star” is the first film to be made by SONO Sion’s independent production company, Sion Productions, which he established in 2014. The film was shot in Fukushima Prefecture, still scarred by 3/11, with the cooperation of local residents. It is an extremely unique, lyrical sci-fi masterpiece.
