Moved by the passage of time

The story is simple but very touching. The director expresses a serene beauty with a few ordinary stories. When I first saw this movie, I felt that the years were very bland, but when you have experienced many things in society, when you are dissatisfied with the society and yourself, and when you are farther and farther away from your youth, watch this movie again. The movie will feel very moving, and certain scenes will always resonate with you. For example, Hirota likes Taeko, so Hirota's friend went to Taeko's class and said, Hirota likes you. Did we often do such wicked things when we were young? Therefore, the fairy tales that are moved by the years are not moved by the movie, but are actually moved by themselves.
