If you loved Nabbie's Love, try Hotel Hibiscus
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 Nabbie's Love, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

This hotel’s house rules must include a waiver against hyperactivity. A six-year-old and a crumbling rooming house in Okinawa make for odd bedfellows. The place limps along like its last guest’s luggage, attached by a bungee cord.
