Two brothers, orphaned at a young age, struggle to make ends meet. The older brother works tirelessly to send his younger brother to college but accidentally kills an elderly woman during a robbery for tuition money. This sets the younger brother on a downward spiral, losing his house, job, dreams, and love. Meanwhile, the older brother continues to send letters from prison. The younger brother battles to escape his harsh reality and eventually meets a woman who helps him. When he faces losing her, he decides to sever the "vicious chain of letters" from prison.

Rewatch Value 10
I watched this movie a while ago and still, from time to time, I pick it up again to watch.
It's a real movie.
It's not a movie where people get lucky or found true love in a blink of an eye or are very nice people without any flaws that get good things in the end. This is a real movie, about real life. About people who get lucky and unlucky, about people who are judged by society and about people who build love with love.

The story may sound cliche but it has a really unique point of view. It has a nice pace and it keeps you glued to the screen wondering what will happen next and how it will happen.

The acting is amazing! The way the characters are built, the way they interact with each other, with themselves and with society is really astonishing. Erika Sawajiri and Takayuki Yamada are really amazing.

The music is also good and touching. And I have to give 10 to the re-watch value because I have already re-watched it several times.
