Due F 6d Crying Out Love in the Center of the World follows Saku as long-buried memories of his first love resurface, revealing a tender yet painful journey through grief and unfinished emotions. Through melancholic visuals, honest dialogue, and the symbolic use of a voice cassette, the film bridges past and present to show how love can linger even after loss. Ultimately, it portrays acceptance not as forgetting, but as releasing with grace so life can move forward.
