If you loved One Summer Story, try The Fish Tale

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 Shuichi Okita, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to One Summer Story, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
