If you loved Kabei: nuestra madre, try La espada oculta
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 Yoji Yamada, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Kabei: nuestra madre, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La espada oculta is
Oh, the samurai with a crush. A well-born swordsman falls for a peasant, then gets ordered to stab his best friend—classic loyalty test. The film spends most of its runtime wondering which hurts more: the heart or the blade.
