He is known as a composer of the scores for Bertolucci’s films who has recently made music for "The Revenant". This time, Sakamoto presents himself as a musical experimenter, an activist fighting against the destruction of the natural environment as well as a man struggling with a serious disease. He is looking for new sounds in nature, from the North Pole, through the contaminated region of Fukushima, to Africa, the cradle of humankind. The story about the roots of music turns into a cinematic meditation and tells us about man’s struggles with limitations.
