Incredibly well executed sapphic love story
This was too short and I wish we got a full movie to enjoy the blossoming love of the two leads .But what we got was incredible , this is one of the most realistic portrayals of a lesbian relationship I've ever seen.
Story:
After a granddaughter of Tsuyako's finds a box of old photos we are transported to post-war World War II Japan, where a younger Tsuyako who works in a factory and has a family meets a childhood friend Yoshie ,who is planning on moving to Tokyo. The two reminisce about the past and that leaves Tsuyako with a very important question: Does family come first before true love?
Overall everything was beautifully portrayed , the actresses did an amazing job of showing longing, pain and sorrow. It was directed and produced by a woman so the lesbian portrayal wasn't sexualized and it showed in the sexual scenes where it mattered most .
I cried like 3 times for those 20 minutes so I would say worth watching, but prepare to tear up at the gritty realism of life.
