- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and anyone who loves a strong drama. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 15 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1974: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
A boy rescues a girl who has collapsed in a river, from their exchanges and memories a tale of loneliness and meaningful connection gradually unfolds.
