A member of the high school art club called Sakuko falls into the sea while sketching a boat. Witnessing the incident, Saibara creates a painting titled "Drowning Sakuko" and wins an award at a contest, leading the painting to be displayed at school. Moreover, Saibara takes the liberty of announcing that she will paint Sakuko for her next piece during a newspaper interview. Frustrated by the situation, Sakuko gives up on her artistic path and attempts to create a new work with the motif of a "boat" in her home, which is scheduled for demolition.

Watch this movie with headphones!
Before I review the content of the movie, I encourage anyone considering watching this film to do so using headphones. The sound design for 3 specific scenes is such that using headphones will heighten the experience, and I think, give you more of a feel for what the filmmaker intended.I found this movie to be particularly enjoyable because of the way the filmmaker has presented their messages and intent to the viewer. I didn't feel like I was being beat over with a heavy message or opinion on what I was 'supposed' to be think, but rather I was being shown in a very soft and optimistic way. There is conflict in this movie to be sure, but everything feels like the progress that is made from the conflict is much more important than the conflict itself. It's strangely refreshing in a way that really captivated me as a viewer.
The movie illuminates the frought landscape of young love, the pressure that young artists are placed under to grow and develop, platonic and romantic intimacy, and finding your place.
All in all a very enjoyable movie that I think deserves a second watch some time after your first viewing.
8.5/10
