What is this movie about?
Description: The film tells the story of a 16-year-old girl named Kaoru Amane. She is an amateur musician, plays the guitar, and writes songs. She lives with her parents. And everything would be fine if not for one "but"... The "but" is that she suffers from an incurable and very rare disease. It is called "xeroderma pigmentosum," or simply XP. The essence is that the skin of a person with this disease cannot resist ultraviolet radiation. Simply put, for such people, exposure to direct sunlight means a quick and agonizing death. Therefore, Kaoru spends the whole day at home, and at night she goes to the railway station and there, completely alone, plays and sings her songs. And every time she has to return home before sunrise. And every morning from the window of her room, she sees a young man, an amateur surfer, who arrives early in the morning at the stop in front of Kaoru's house and waits there for his friends. Kaoru doesn't yet know who he is, but she already feels a sincere sympathy for him...
Since the genre is romance and drama, I kept trying to find something to criticize in the film, but alas, the film simply captivated me... I am, by nature, an unemotional person – it is virtually impossible to move me (I don't cry at relatives' funerals), but here, strangely enough, I managed to get emotional three times... Watch only with subtitles, although there is no other way, otherwise you might not appreciate the beauty of Yui's voice.
P.S. After this film, I felt down for about a week + I started looking at her songs differently.
P.P.S. Maybe tomorrow or the day after, I'll create a thread about the film...
