Akihiro MIMA's film tells the stories of a veteran recordist going on a journey to the places of his past and of a group of school girl spending a weekend without their parents. Elegantly moving back and forth between past and present as well as between reality and illusion, UTOPIA SOUNDS marks an astonishing film debut.
