    • Trivia
      Actress Miyoko Asada studied thoroughly about spokespeople of adoption agencies and their business for the role of her character. For the seminar scene, it was entirely improvised as she took real questions from the extras and answered them fully. She spoke at the whole faux seminar in character for a full hour.

    Sensitive (bit slow) but worth the time
    Giving the gift to someone else who cant have it is in itslef a great deed. The movie sums up some very nice dealings of our life. How one bad decision derails our life. The orthogonal behavior of the parents. The joy of being a parent, doing something for people so they could enjoy that too. Heart warming when the couple decided to go through it together, also signifies the importance of successful marriage even when the things arent going well. The scenes at island were shot differently seemed like a doxumentary is playing for a while. Maturity comes with a cost- trauma or time.
