Cold Bloom

A young woman who lives a harsh reality goes through a big change in her life; her husband dies. A coworker of her husband accidentally killed him, causing a slump for business in the factory.

Trumpet of the Cliff

A girl in her 20’s goes to Okinawa to stay with her uncle. She goes to the island to rest from a major surgery and meets a mysterious man. The stranger who likes to play the trumpet and the girl who used to be sick then form an odd connection. Available on Viki

Eyes on Me/Choki

A widower hairdresser meets the student who his wife used to care for as a daughter. The girl, now grown up, is blind and lives a lonely life. The two meet and bring sparks into each other’s lives.

With this movie, I was skeptical, because of the odd age difference, but the story is actually quite sweet and worth watching. Available on Amazon Prime

Parks

A random girl shows up at the home of another girl and asks about the woman who used to live there 50 years ago. They work together in trying to find out about the story of the woman and the stranger’s father. The two girls meet another friend and go on a journey to complete a song of the past and discover their history. Available on Amazon Prime

This movie was slow and a bit hard to get through, but it was very well paced. The ending was the best part, so don't stop in the middle.

Chokolietta/Chocolietta


A high school student has depression after losing her mother and pet dog. She goes through life not feeling much and just simply living, but she then meets a boy. The boy is strange, reckless, and most importantly enjoys movies. Together they go on small adventures in this dark toned story, and she finds reasons to live.
