Featured review
the plot is quite simple:a Hokkaido's girl enters a Tokyo's university cause the man she unrequited love with is also in Tokyo. As an Asian,this movie make me reflect lots of my adolescence. there are 2 scenes are my favorites 1:girl with neighbor (the loneliness of the modern citizen) 2:the umbrella-borrow (Nireno is really pure)
PS the film's name which translate 'story about April' in Chinese make me think another film 'pieces of April'also is a great film
all in all if you want to relax for a easy plot movie it's a nice choice
