August at Akiko's (2018, Christopher Makoto Yogi)

[Mothravka]

Armed with just his suitcase and a sax, cosmopolitan musician Alex Zhang Hungtai (from the band Dirty Beaches) returns home to the Big Island of Hawaii having been away for nearly a decade. Hungtai, playing a fictional version of himself, takes refuge in a Buddhist B&B with a woman named Akiko (Akiko Matsuda, playing herself). Alex's experimental free jazz music at first collides with the bell sounds ofAkiko's meditation, but as the film evolves and a friendship develops, the two harmonize.
