A beautiful & very touching post WW2 drama. Love the art style used in this movie, a refreshing visual experience. As of now, one of my favorites WW2 dramas alongside with Ohoshi-sama no Rail (1993) and Kono Sekai no (Sara ni Ikutsumo no) Katasumi ni (2019), which i recommend both as well if you are into tragic dramas.
