Eventually Rin has three daughters: Kaoru (Yuko Takeuchi) - who tragically loses her husband in a car accident, Midori (Rena Tanaka) - a career woman who becomes shaken by a marriage proposal, and youngest child Sato (Yukie Nakama). In the 1960's Sato gives birth to Kanna (Kyoka Suzuki) and Kei (Ryoko Hirosue). In the present day, Kanna is now worried about becoming a single mother.
The lives of these woman are portrayed with beauty and grace.

I loved this movie. It explores the often unconsidered connections that we have with our ancestors and how impacting our life decisions can be. The creators of this film love life and it shows in the beauty of it's imagery and storytelling. Absolutely a dream of a movie!

This is a must-see movie and highly encourage everyone to watch it. The humor is just right. I like it! I smiled and laughed several times in this film, and of course cried in the touching scenes. *sniff* ... Last but not the least, great cinematography!
