Must watch for romantics
So I came across this movie quite by accident, through an edit which was posted on youtube. It was so cute that I had to look for and see the full movie.
Mitsuoami resigns from his stress filled job in Tokyo and returns to his small hometown to restart and think things over. There, he meets Yamato, his previous caretaker's adopted son. Innocent and guileless unlike his city counterparts, Mitsuomi is drawn to his innocence and ever lasting optimism. He's like a spot of sunshine in his rainfilled gloomy life.
Yamato convinces him to work at their farm and Mitsuomi gets slowly but surely sucked into Yamato's charm, while the latter is completely unaware of Mitsuomi's feelings towards him. So much so that even when Mitsuomi confesses his feelings for him, he doesn't get scandalised nor pushes him away. Just asks him for some time to sort his feelings. Considering that they are already such good friends and depend on each other quite a bit, by then.
It's a small, short and straightforward story much like the simple character of Yamato, devoid of any unnecessary drama and heartburn. It is so simple that one would wish more stories were like this one. Not to mention the extremely satisfying and sweet ending...again, devoid of much drama.
