Nippon Visions   ½ 

Amiko never feels like doing her homework. Being a curious girl, she prefers to explore the world around her in her own unique, personal way. But then a loss in her family changes everything. In his directorial debut, Yusuke MORII reflects on life and death, patience and grief from a child’s perspective, with an acute sense of cinematic style.
