If you loved Children of the Beehive, try Los masajistas y una mujer
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Hiroshi Shimizu, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Children of the Beehive, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Los masajistas y una mujer is
Rossellini's Europa '51 without the histrionics. Two itinerant blind masseurs encounter a beautiful, taciturn woman vacationing in a mountain resort. Shimizu’s gentle film subtly connects themes of disability, class, and the search for love.
