A high school student who perceives people as vivid “colors” is drawn to a classmate’s radiant presence and, along with a quiet music lover, forms a small band. As they practice in an out-of-the-way church, making music helps them build friendship, face everyday pressures, and look toward the future with more courage.

About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gentle, music-centered coming-of-age story with a cozy, heartfelt vibe, similar to Belle or Liz and the Blue Bird; Not for you if you need fast pacing or big drama.

Pros: warm friendships; beautiful animation; uplifting music | Cons: slow pace; too sweet tone; ideas feel underused
