Rare portrayal of a Japanese-American family, 16 April 2000
Author: mihai99 from Los Angeles, CA

Excellent independent movie whose rare portrayal of a Japanese-American family's struggles hasn't yet surfaced in mainstream media. A couple of plot lines seemed under-developed, but overall it was a beautiful story about tradition, suppressed feelings, and true love after 70.
