Despair, happiness, sorrow, sadness, optimism. They are all there.<br /><br />The director manages to say it all without words, and the children are superb.<br /><br />You will love Shigeru's vitalism, Kyoko's despair, Akira's impotence... You will love Saki's loneliness.<br /><br />Yuki's birthday will break your heart in a thousand pieces...<br /><br /><br />No doubt, the best movie I've seen this year: 10/10.
