Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone who loves a strong drama, this one's for you. Leaves you with something to think about.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.

Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 13 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Machiko Matsuoka is a high school music teacher who lives with Keiko, her older sister with a bad leg. They were close once, but Keiko became disabled in an incident. Believing that Machiko was the cause, Keiko has treated her like a slave ever since. Machiko has done everything she says, but her frustration has accumulated. One day, Machiko begins a secret relationship with her student.
