Matsutaro Yasuda, a retired girl's High School Principal who has lost his wife to alcoholism and is forsaken by his Daughter, moves to an old apartment in a country town. Yasuda, at his new address, meets a little five years old girl who lives next door. Sachi, the little girl, clenches on an iron fence at the apartment. All alone, she is gazing into the distance. Angel's wings made of cardboard are on her back. She is barefoot and wears a summer dress in spite of it being winter. On her leg there are scratches and bruises. Yasuda speaks to Sachi but she does not smile or say a word. When night falls, violent voices can be heard from next door to the mother and her lover echoing in Yasuda's room almost every night. Yasuda blocked out his emotions. He didn't want to hear or see anything. However, little by little something moved his emotions we can call it passion. When he looked into the little girl's eyes, which are also lacking in emotion, something seemed to overlap his wounded heart. "Have you ever seen a blue sky? Where clouds appear like cotton candy and a white bird is flying high?" "Would you like to walk with me?" Yasuda and Sachi begin their long walk.... During their walk, the two meet a young boy named Wataru at a small desolate train station. Wataru seems to be easygoing. However, he is also lonely and holds an empty feeling in his heart. The passing Wataru joins the two on their journey but the trip goes in an unexpected direction when one day Sachi begins to open her heart to Yasuda and Wataru. Cardboard Angel wings begin to fly toward a real sky.......

| User ReviewJason JSlow but thought provoking drama of an old man seeking to vanquish some demons from his past who forms a friendship with a 5 year old girl called Sachi who lives next door to his apartment and is badly mistreated by her alcoholic mother. It's heartbreaking to see the way she's treated like dirt by her own mother as she's so cute and adorable. Such a great little actress. It's a sad storyline of 2 lonely people brought together by circumstances who take a trip to go and see "the blue sky". The open ending will leave many frustrated. |

| User ReviewAyumi HI loved this film... Started off slow but boy was it ever good... The Synopsis says it all, this movie is very emotional and about people and their hidden secrets... Nothing fancy about this movie, just sincerity and being human... |
| User ReviewVaibhav WA very simple yet effective film, Nagai Sanpo deals with parenthood and its issues with the central characters fighting their own demons. The girl child's role deserves a special mention. Recommended! |
