About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quiet, minimalist drama about loneliness, love, and obsession that lingers after it ends; Not for you if you need fast pacing, warmth, or clear catharsis like After the Rain.
Pros: haunting piano music; strong emotional mood; thoughtful minimalist storytelling | Cons: very slow pace; detached, chilly feel; hard to empathize
