    i felt the peacefulness in my bones
    A beautifully portrayed film that was based on a manga by Kiriko Nananan. The movie itself is poetry in motion, calm, and weirdly nostalgic which created a sense of serenity for me.

    Every single scene during the movie is so soothing, so gentle and explains the innocent story of two girls falling in love, there is so much sensuality in the relationship that you can almost feel it.

    Finishing the movie leaves you with so many mixed feelings: melancholy, sadness, and yet a certain optimism and a feeling that all will be okay after a while.
