If you loved Strawberry Shortcakes, try Afternoon Breezes

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 Hitoshi Yazaki, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Strawberry Shortcakes, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Afternoon Breezes is

Here's a film that knows its way around a love triangle. Two young women share an apartment and one is secretly in love with the other, who has a boyfriend. She schemes to seduce him. It is a very small story, well told.
