CriticsCritics: 86
AudienceAudience: 7.6
After fleeing a devastating war, an ageless young woman discovers an abandoned baby and chooses to raise him as her own. As he grows older while she remains unchanged, their bond is tested by shifting relationships, conflict, and the difficult realities of love, family, and mortality.
You’ll likely enjoy this if you appreciate emotional fantasy stories about family, sacrifice, and mortality, especially films like Maboroshi; Not for you if you need tightly explained plots and consistently brisk pacing.
