If you loved A story written with water, try Primavera en Akitsu
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 Yoshishige Yoshida, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to A story written with water, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Primavera en Akitsu is
Yoshida here asks: what if we made a melodrama about doomed lovers, but really, really Japanese? A woman running a hot springs inn begins an affair with a sickly man, with tragic results. It got exactly as maudlin as you feared it might.
