A Chorus Of Angels 2012

A teacher, Kawashima Haru (Yoshinaga Sayuri), arrives on a remote island, north of Hokkaido. She has accompanied her husband, Yukio (Shibata Kyohei), to become the teacher of six students (who grow up to be played by Moriyama Mira, Mishima Hikari, Katsuchi Ryo, Miyazaki Aoi, Koike Eiko and Matsuda Ryuhei).

Once Haru discovers the children's beautiful singing voices, she brightens their spirits by leading them in a chorus. Smiles now break out on the faces of the children, who had been bored at school before her arrival. Their angelic voices reverberate across the wilderness, warmly basking the residents' hearts. One day, Abe (Nakamura Toru), a policeman with a troubled soul, arrives on the island. Haru, who harbours her own secret pain, is increasingly moved by the long shadow cast over Abe's heart. But one summer's day, Haru's husband dies in an accident on a picnic with her students. The terrible wound in Haru's heart causes her to abandon her worried father (Satomi Kotaro) and flee the island. Although she has escaped the island, she remains concerned for her students...
