If you loved Mio on the Shore, try One Day, You Will Reach the Sea

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

What One Day, You Will Reach the Sea is

The Virgin Suicides meets Eternal Sunshine without the sci-fi. A woman freezes when her best friend dies months before college graduation. Twelve years of static shots and small rituals pass while she tries (and fails) to move forward.
