If you loved Nabbie's Love, try The Zen Diary

What The Zen Diary is
A widower’s mountain exile meets domestic farce when his editor keeps dropping in bearing wine and unspoken demands he scatter his wife’s ashes. Anchored by two sharp performances, it’s Ozu for the Zoom era—quietly devastating and almost funny.
