A film that brings you back to your youth

In my humble opinion, this film of a metrage of merely 75 minutes is greatly underrated by the IMDB community. Apart from the innovative background setting in which the story unfolds, the film inherits the many a merit from Japanese cinematography, capturing sensitive moments in seemingly banal life of ordinary people and transforming them into something meaningful and tasteful.

A certain part of audience may argue that storyline of the film is not so compact and some of the conversation seems impertinent or even far-fetched, but I totally enjoyed the free flow of their mindless dialogue. In real life it is always kind of difficult to find an interlocutor that is at the same time witty and frank. Maybe only in the adolescence one can dare to expect such pure sentiment and innocent words unbosomed between two souls that have barely known each other for a while. For somebody likes me who struggles in the hustle and bustle of mundane life, it certainly resurrected some of the carefree days that have been long lost in memory.
