A girl is married off to a boy she barely knows in this rich but unfocused anime.
What emerges is an exquisitely rendered, sensitively told study of survival during wartime, couched in minutely observed day-to-day details that slowly bring the title's significance into deeply tender, poignant focus.
A gorgeously rendered and deeply personal portrayal of a young woman’s life in the part of the world where history’s greatest conflict reached a devastating conclusion.
An exquisite portrait of Hiroshima before the bomb that conjures a powerful sense of what – and who – was lost.
This affecting story of domestic life is beautifully realised with a feathery, watercolour palette of pale colours and fuzzy horizons.
