If you loved Afternoon Breezes, try Strawberry Shortcakes
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Hitoshi Yazaki, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Afternoon Breezes, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Strawberry Shortcakes is
Train journeys and boudoir chats frame four Tokyo girls trading crushes and dead-end jobs while waiting for something to bloom. Their messy downtown lives crash against silent expectations. A decade-old cast still feels like roommates you’d borrow 100 yen from.
