If you loved The Fish Tale, try One Summer Story
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 Shuichi Okita, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Fish Tale, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What One Summer Story is
A deadpan quest for meaning, taken literally. Two high school misfits—a swimmer and an academic—stumble into a shared, sun-bleached adventure. If the film remembers them at all, it’s as background noise to its own nostalgia.
