If you loved Embracing, try Shara - Licht und Schatten
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 Naomi Kawase, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to Embracing, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Shara - Licht und Schatten is
Picnic at Hanging Rock if it took place in Japan. Years after his twin vanishes, a teenager confronts memory and loss in his ancient hometown. A quiet film of sustained grace, led by Kawase's observant camera.
