Somehow I had a feeling this film would be good but it surpassed my expectations. I'm still reeling from the emotional journey the story took me through and what a performance from the main character Yuma. Courageous, adventurous, yet soft and so very sweet which makes you empathize all the more with the challenges she has to deal with on a daily basis. I too had a Japanese mother and could see similarities between mine and Yuma's. A Mother's unconditional love and protection for her child is a bond that can never be broken and this is quite apparent here in this clever and beautiful film. Well done Hikari
