    If you want to be so moved by a movie that you will cry like a little girl, this movie is for you. Well acted, so moving I had to stop in the middle and take a break. Give it a go but dont forget the tissues.

    Sensitively done, slow, deep story. It sneaks up on you. It made me reflect on my own life and values. I loved it. It made me want to watch only Japanese films for a while.
