If you loved Hotel Hibiscus, try Nabbie's Love
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Yuji Nakae, and they both carry the cozy, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hotel Hibiscus, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Nabbie's Love is
Nabbie’s Love sets out to reunite Nanako with the grandmother she barely knows, and the literal boat that carries her also carries a ghost from Nabbie’s past. Nanako intends to mend family fences only to find the reunion already booked. A quietly sentimental coastal farce that forgets to be as sharp as it wants to be.
