Little Noriko who was angry, asked her mother: "Are you living your dream life? Are you satisfied with your current life?"
This million-dollar question is the basic theme throughout the movie. We must be able to make peace with ourselves, for all the mistakes we have made, the regrets that we can't apologize for or the wrong decisions in our lives that we can't replay. And this movie depicts it so beautifully. A must watch!
PS: Don't be surprised when you leave the theater, you would find most audience have red eyes.

Peaceful life
I am just loving it. The story is just about the ordinary of ordinary people. The death of the moth doesn't cause drastic feeling, it is peaceful. And the light sadness, missing, and even rebelling(at the age of 19) is so real. Death is death, life will go on. This is life. That is what I like for the most. Thanks for the movie creator/producer which present us a so good story!
