Directed by Naoko Yamada
About a girl, Nishimiya, who is deaf and joined this elementary schoo but bullied by Shoya Ishida. A story about friendship, Jap culture, bullying in schools, suicide, depression, ostracism, and many real (teen) issues.
Very moving and love the lighting, colours and compositions. How each of them overcome their issues and the complex relationships between friend especially during high school days.
Also about dreams and the beliefs in a higher power to communicate thought and make decisions. E.g. a ticket stub which sells bread as a sign to hang out at the bridge, a place where Nishimiya feeds the carp. The symbol of butterfly as the soul of her granny. Having a dream of a peaceful death to show the granny is gone. And communicating through dreams. The dream and spiritual angles are very strong and a reflection of current Jap beliefs and practices.
