I didn't know what to expect when I got it, the sleeves looks like a pinkish movie, but the story on the sleeves sounds more serious. After watching it I was really glad I did. I didn't know the director, and I wondered..is it a she? Feels like a she, but it's a he: the writer is a she, and a lesbian: They worked closely together. But as a director he has a real nice touch of approaching the subject. Mending your life, coming to terms with you feelings, coming to terms with the way you are, who you are, a little lesbo-emancipation mixed in to it. And no pinkness involved. Lovely little film all in all. A real life story, opening your eyes for Japanese Lesbian life, told with liveliness and wit, with serious undertones without disturbing the feel good touch
