      The scenery is beautiful but not moving

      It's nothing... Any man can honestly face his heartbeat. This is also a kind of bravery, not to mention that the hero's situation is even more adventurous. This is different from ordinary lustful derailment. That kind of temptation is obviously not enough. Yes... However, just a few simple strokes on the oriental woman are not enough to give people such a temptation~ Obviously, this is the fantasy East in the eyes of Westerners... And what is true love? What is great love? Is it the so-called...

      came to a small village in Japan to seek the face of a woman.

    Movie quotes

    • Baldabiou: I once knew a man who built his own railroad. It was completely straight. Not one curve in it. He had a reason for that. I don't remember what it was. Reasons get forgotten.

    • [first lines]

      Hervé Joncour: Steaming water. Strange trees. Laughing children. Her skin... those eyes. But why should I tell you about it? Why now? Maybe I just need to tell someone about it. And that someone is you.

    • Hervé Joncour: [toasts] To our lasting friendship.
