Kaspar Astrup Schröder, Denmark, 2025

92 min.DK/Documentary

Dear Tomorrow is a multi-character story about loneliness. Set in Japan, the film centers around a mental health hotline, where young volunteers are chatting with thousands in need, every single day. The organization has become an indispensable resource in Japanese society, as more and more people are living in isolation. The film follows three vulnerable users of the chat service as they struggle to find meaning in their lives. With support from the chat service and the Japanese government's focus on loneliness, they finally have a place to turn. Aware of their need for human connection, they embark on a journey toward healing and renewal.
