If you loved Children of the Beehive, try Ornamental Hairpin
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 Hiroshi Shimizu, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Children of the Beehive, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

Someone left a hairpin behind and now everyone's curious. A mountain inn patron gets hurt by the abandoned accessory. The mystery of its owner is now the main event.
