🎬 MovieFinder's Take

A delicate and poignant coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of religious fervor. The film avoids easy judgments, instead immersing us in the child's perspective, where parental faith is both love and an invisible cage.

What lingers after the credits is a profound sense of quiet melancholy and the fragile search for self amidst inherited beliefs. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Tatsushi Ōmori
