Hello everyone, today I would like to introduce you to a healing movie - "Little Forest Winter and Spring". Douban scored 8.9, better than 97% of drama films.
As a reminder, please prepare delicious food in advance when watching this film. This may seem more like a food show.
Ichiko lives alone in Komori, this day her mother wrote a letter, she remembered her mother used to make a cake, wrapped in thick cream, after cutting it is red, green, white three colors, Ichiko tried to make it herself, with pumpkin and black rice cream made to complete, unravel is purple, yellow, white three colors, and invited friends to taste together.
Komori is very cold in winter, and everyone gathers around to make a meal, and natto glutinous rice balls are the most suitable. Ichiko also relied on her childhood memories to try to make natto glutinous rice balls. The glutinous rice was grown by Ichiko herself, and because of the bad weather, she was worried about going to see it every day, and she didn't want to make it taste exactly like when she was a child.
Ichiko will also pick the ripe persimmons with her friends to dry the persimmons, and will also make some frozen persimmons for refreshments.
Persimmons will also cook some red beans and other snacks to eat, but growing red beans is a very troublesome thing.
Ichiko and her friends will also quarrel over disagreements, but every two days the two will reconcile, eat handmade food together, and go to the snow together.
Unconsciously, winter is almost over, and the spring sunshine is unexpected, which is overwhelming.
In early spring, komori is full of cherry blossoms, and Ichiko rides a bicycle to wander through the sea of flowers, picking delicacies through the long mountain road to the mountains, and then making them herself.
In order to live, Ichiko will also go to the supermarket to do odd jobs, at this time she will involuntarily think of her mother, and wonder if she is her mother's relative? But after the doubts, she continued her life.
In the spring, the cabbages also grow into shape, and the lions cut them into long strips, wrapped in paste, and made into dry fried vegetables, which is also very delicious.
Ichiko also makes a cake with cabbage, eggs, ginger, and flour, and invites friends to taste it, which is also a must. All the food here is made from the spot, and all the food seems simple and rustic but delicious, containing the joy of life.
Everything is so natural, just like a line in it. Although the weather is cold and headache-inducing, some foods can only be made when it is cold, and cold is also an important seasoning.
It seems that all harmonious and quiet life, only a little violation is instability, and Ichiko will still recall the days outside of Komori. She had come out of evasion and fear, and there was always something unwilling in her heart, and she decided not to grow potatoes this year, because she would no longer be here next winter.
After Ichiko leaves, her friends help her take care of the world, and she knows that Ichiko will eventually come back.
Fast forward five years, the first Little Forest Spring Harvest Festival was held in the branch hall, a variety of food and goods filled the entire venue, Ichiko also returned, with her other half, the young woman's hairstyle lined her more mature, but between the eyebrows is still the stubborn girl.
The story ends perfectly here, and when I watched the film, I was amazed at Ichiko's self-sufficiency, she seemed to know everything, omnipotent, and had the power to turn decay into magic.
It seems that she just does everything well, just makes every meal, makes good use of every ingredient, and repeats herself and is self-sufficient.
Such a pristine life is also the life we yearn for, but if you want to give up your existing life, return to the countryside, and be self-sufficient, are you willing?
