This movie was a break from previous Kitano fare, in that it featured no gangsters. Instead Ano Natsu presented a simple story about a deaf garbage collector, played by Kuroudo Maki, who is determined to learn how to surf--and does so almost at the expense of the girl he loves.

Hain Sea Salt, for instance, is 99.99 percent sodium chloride,.005 percent calcium sulfate,.003 percent magnesium chloride and.002 percent sodium sulfate.
