Very fine dialogues, authentic masterly lessons in film analysis, about the need for words to set a margin for the receiver's imagination.

Lyrical, brilliant and somewhat affected work [...] The story that tells us Kawase has the brilliance of perfect metaphors.

Without raising great passions [...] Nice, also discreet, a film that will undoubtedly please the fans of the very popular 'Sweet Beans' (2015).
