| User ReviewTracey BA touching story set in my second home town, Tokushima. |
| User ReviewMarina TI was so impressed! This movie reminded me of my homecity Tokushima. Bizan is one of the mountains in Tokushima. |
| User ReviewTobias LA movie that reminds of mother's love |
| User ReviewGabriel GA lovely and tender film, about relations between mother and daughter, within the framework of the vibrant Awa Odori Festival, in Tokushima City, a real must of Japanese public events and celebrations. The veteran Nobuko Miyamoto seems to be still great, and really desirable, despite the years. A work from her like her best times, in the 80's and 90's. Delicious movie. |
