From the ashes of Hiroshima to modern-day Vancouver, a funny, emotional portrayal of fathers and sons.
Former CBC broadcaster Tetsuro Shigematsu and his emotionally remote father, Akira, shared the same profession, communicating with millions, but not with each other. When Akira’s health begins to falter in his old age, Tetsuro bridges the gap between them with the only object they both understood: a microphone.
