Ken KAWAI

ひつじものがたり

Nippon Visions   ½ 

Chronicling the adventures of a young man and his sheep as well as the exploits of a middle-aged man who’s running after his first love, this film juxtaposes youthful spirit and nostalgic longing. While the two episodes range from cartoonish to melancholic, they both share a lot of warmth and humor depicting their sometimes fallible, but ultimately very lovable characters.
