Live From the Clouds immerses the viewer in the intimate memories and imaginations of four women in the director's Japanese-American family, where everyday anxieties of shopping, paying the bills, and flying are ruptured by dreams of financial freedom and homecoming.
Taking its title from the Japanese onomatopoeia for bird sound, this is a lyrical, dream-like portrait of the director's grandmother, her fear of flying, and her connection with avian beings.
