The film describes a family through cigarettes. The scene which a little girl buys a cigarette makes a surprising impression on your mind, but once you know why she tries to buy a cigarette, you may cheer up. Her mother tells her not to buy cigarette anymore and the girl knows that cigarettes have a bad influence on people, but she goes to buy a cigarette involuntarily. She is kind and supportive. We can learn that kindness and unnecessary support sometimes go completely the opposite of what is intended. This is a Japanese short film. However, this teaches many things to us, I think. It won a prize and is worth watching.
By watching this movie, I remember my grandfather. He was a heavy smoker and he always smoked until he got his first grandson. After my brother was born, he stopped smoking. That is why I have never seen his smoking. My father was kind and he loved us very much. We also really love him, I was looking forward to seeing him. When I was 12 years old, he died because of stomach cancer. I have no image that my grandfather smokes but I imagine if I were in this movie's situation. My grandfather was in a hospital, I always thought "What can I do for him?" "What does he hope?" "I want to do everything he wants," because I really loved him. I wanted to make him smile. The girl I this movie also loves her father. She knows that cigarettes are not good for his health but she wants to do everything he wants, as I was so before. I can feel nostalgia, sadness and warmth by this movie.
This is the story about one family. The father is sick. He cannot give up to smoke. He really want to smoke cigarette, but he cannot go out from bet. So, he ask his daughter to buy cigarette. The daughter bought it, but her mother scolds her. He must give up to smoke. The daughter cannot understand why her father must not smoke. She worry about his father because he looks very painful, and she understand the father want to smoke. She wants her father to be fine. a delinquent girl appears to the daughter. She smokes. The daughter says to the girl "Please give me a cigarette."
I like this movie. It is because I can see love in their family, The daughter really worries about her father. I like last scene, but I cannot tell the last scene because if I tell it, it will be board for you.
I think you should watch this movie with your family.

An elementary school girl departs from her friends on the way to her home. However she turns around and starts walking on the street which not leads to her home. And she take out money and put it in a tabacco vending machine and she gets one. Arriving at her home, she finds her mother gets angry about tabacco and her tabacco is confiscated. She moves to another room and there is her father. Her father is dying but he asks her to buy tabacco. She decides to buy tabacco for her father again.
First of all, the little actor who plays Sara is very nice. When her tabacco is taken and she apologizes to her father, her expression is so sad and when a vending machine broke and her 1,000 yen doesn't come back, her expression is so angry. However, this short film is not my favorite, because the story is not clear and I can't sympathize with anyone because characters doesn't fascinate me at all.

This film is cute. There is very clear ups and downs in this film. The daughter tries to get Tabako, but there are some troubles. Same as other many short films, this film does not have many characters. The main character, the daughter's trial for getting Tabako takes large amount of this film. Through this trial, she meets some people, and She have troubles at each time. We can she her feeling at each time clearly. However, I think there are not many exciting feeling for what happens next, because we can expect it through the film. Only ending part was not what I expected though. The ending part is very touching. To sum up, this film is very cute and good, but could not be excited that much for me.
