How sad, but beautiful story

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2004)

Just harking back to this movie makes me cry to this day. I saw this movie almost 3 years ago at the Ebert's Overlooked Film Festival. I actually did not expect to see this such an heart breaking story - was just told it was some Japanese anime... I don't know if I should call this movie my favorite, but it would definitely be one of few movies I would want my grand kids to see (well, i am still in 20s :-). I just want to clarify one thing here - "Seita" is a brother's name and "Setuko" is a sister's name. NOT the other way around!!
