If you loved Das Zen-Tagebuch, try Nabbie's Love
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 Yuji Nakae, and they both carry the tender mood tag. If that's the register that drew you to Das Zen-Tagebuch, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Nabbie's Love is
Nabbie’s Love sets out to reunite Nanako with the grandmother she barely knows, and the literal boat that carries her also carries a ghost from Nabbie’s past. Nanako intends to mend family fences only to find the reunion already booked. A quietly sentimental coastal farce that forgets to be as sharp as it wants to be.
