Called by the Dunes

Sand and more sand as far as the eye can see. A vast world of “nothingness” spreads across the Tottori Sand Dunes. The extraordinary nature of the dunes attracts as many as 2 million visitors a year. The purpose of their visit varies. Elderly people who want to feel the passage of time. Businessmen who want to escape for a moment from their days of dealing with detailed numbers in a cramped office. Others come from far away to reflect on themselves in the darkness late at night. The program looks at the “inner landscape” of visitors as well as the fantastic scenery of the dunes.
