The Voices of a Distant Star

Here's a film that takes long-distance relationships to a new level. In 2046, Mikako enlists to fight aliens, leaving Noboru behind to mark time on Earth. Our protagonists then attempt to maintain their connection as she flies further and further away. It's certainly a story.
