Chris Rudz's “All the Songs We Never Sang” is a film, much like its lead, that is full of promise, though gets somewhat distracted along the way, resulting in a more conventional summer excursion than it could have been. Such is the way with life.

Natsumi (Miru Nagase) is a teen who has seemingly hopped on a train and run away from her Tokyo life, somehow making her way to her aunt's house on the remote island of Kojima.
