🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a narrative that explores the psychological landscape of loss and adaptation, rather than focusing solely on physical disability. It relies on the quiet resilience of its supporting characters to slowly dismantle the protagonist's walls of self-pity.

What lingers after the credits is a profound sense of human fragility and strength, a reminder that soaring often begins from the lowest point. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Noriyoshi Sakuma
