Recommended for:
The positioning of the movie is same-sex and plot, but the movie is not just about the same-sex love between two people. Japan is very good at shooting works of this kind of subject, whether it is anime, movies or TV series, it is not only to put the perspective on this point, but also to include life, life, family and love.
The story is very simple, the victory is in the mood, the performances of the two actors are very strong, and Matsuda Ryuhei also won the Golden Coconut Award for Best Actor.
