Sinekatalog’s take
A Japanese coming-of-age drama about an eleven-year-old girl facing her father's illness and the adults around her. Sensitive and observant, it captures childhood curiosity amid sadness. Recommended for patient viewers who like delicate character studies.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
