If you loved Mis vecinos los Yamada, try Recuerdos del ayer
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 Isao Takahata, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mis vecinos los Yamada, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Recuerdos del ayer is
Here's a film that asks, "What if your fifth-grade self judged you?" A woman in her late twenties goes to the countryside, reflecting on her childhood. It's a Studio Ghibli production for people who find Studio Ghibli a little too exciting.
