If you loved Buddies, try Railroad Man
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 Yasuo Furuhata, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Buddies, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Railroad Man is
Local Hero meets Ghost. A stationmaster can't shake the memory of losing his family as his Hokkaido rail line faces shutdown. The arrival of a young woman stirs up the past, offering a bittersweet second chance.
