When her best friend Kie says she wants to go to university in Tokyo, Rumi feels even more abandoned by everyone around her.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This is a tender, deeply felt meditation on coming of age, where magical realism becomes the visual language of a teenager's inner life. The film masterfully portrays how personal myths and anxieties can slowly transform into a wellspring of creativity and self-assurance.
What lingers after the credits is a quiet, resonant story about finding your footing when your world is shifting. It speaks not through grand declarations, but through evocative imagery and thoughtful silence, leaving a gentle ache of melancholy and hope. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Non
Best Watched
The hushed lanes of Tono, the whisper of rice fields, and the spectral glow of watercolor spirits on a sketchbook page.
