If you loved Slow Train, try Tears for You

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 Nobuhiro Doi, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to Slow Train, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Tears for You is

Romeo and Juliet without the feud. Yota raises his stepsister Kaoru after their parents' deaths, leading to an unusual bond. A portrait of loyalty, set against Okinawa's shifting seasons.
