There's _so much more_ to this story than the parents' decision whether to consent to organ donation on behalf of their daughter. That's over in the first 15-20 minutes at most (best estimate I have after watching this half-asleep on a long flight), and the rest of the film is a wrenching character study of how their choice plays out over the following years. I was _not_ prepared for this movie, and wasn't really trying to predict it (because, as mentioned before, I was half asleep)—but that probably made the experience better. In my notes from the flight, I see my drowsy self gave this "9/10 for feels", so I'll just slap that rating on without overthinking it.

I quite didn't expect a plot like this. I really liked it. I could feel the struggle from both the mother and father side. On the technical side, great picture, loved the music and the peace. I recommend it a lot. so yourself a favor and watch it on its original Japanese.
