What happens

A Yell from Heaven (天国からのエール, Tengoku kara no ēru) is a 2011 Japanese drama film that was inspired by the true story of the late Hikaru Nakasone. Hikaru Nakasone is an Okinawan altruist who founded the "Ajisai Ongaku Mura", a music village that is open for all to use, and his story was featured in a NHK documentary broadcast in 2009. Actor Hiroshi Abe plays the role of Hikaru Oshiro, whose character is based closely on Nakasone. Actress and idol Nanami Sakuraba also stars in the film, playing the role of a student who aspires to be a singer and guitarist. Tengoku Kara no Yell was first screened at the 3rd Okinawa International Movie Festival on 27 March 2011. It was subsequently released in Japanese cinemas on 1 October 2011.
