This is a story that explores many themes. It's a slow moving story. It's about love and healing but so happens the two main characters who fall in love are two men in their mid to late 20's. It's not a coming out story, doesn't address homophobia ect. I don't think the work gay was used or do we even know if either person ever had a relationship in the past with same sex though it seems not. Filming was beautiful and set in a lovely country town. Starts with one of the main characters returning home after leaving a unsatisfying job in Tokyo to return to the small town he grew up in. He doesn't have the best relationship with his dad because he rejected the small town and his dad professional business making furniture to pursue the big city life. Second lead is a man who was adopted as a young adult to a older person who owns and runs a farm. They both form a bond of friendship, grown, learn and the relationship grows as they learn to let go and learn to love. It's really a beautiful story. One of the mains is a well known Japanese actor too. Not a sexy film but a emotional, loving, and sweet film. So glad to see films that aren't dark and tragic or overly dramatic. It's a slow ride but a nice one into their lives.
