Mustanaamio7's Movie Diary 2020 (149 movies items)

"27.8. 2020 A baker struggling with his business hires an elderly woman to help him after being impressed by her new recipe. A schoolgirl who is unsure of her own future plans also likes the new recipe. "Sweet Bean" is a small-scale but beautiful film from Japan. The story emphasizes the importance of short but meaningful moments in life. Cherry trees blossoms while the human characters are just waiting what the future might throw in their way."
