If you loved Lejos de ti, try A la deriva

Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Mikio Naruse, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lejos de ti, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
