If you loved The Friends, try Moving
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 Shinji Sōmai, and they both carry the foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Friends, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Moving is
_Bicycle Thieves_ without a bicycle. A young teen shunted between her feuding parents finds solace with an eccentric group of adults. The late Sōmai's touch is light, attuned to adolescence.
