An almost unknown film of Ghibli that although does not count on the magic of the other films shows us another great history of quality that is something difficult to understand for certain people.
The story of Taeko is a pure and literal slice of life that may be tedious to see in certain parts for those who do not like this genre.
The quality of animation was not much to my liking and the Soundtrack is quite difficult to perceive.
I really liked the part where "the past" meets "the present" giving an end to the story to the height of other Ghibli films.
If you like (rather) the slice of life stories you must see this work of Isao Takahata full of nostalgia that will surely remind you of some parts of your childhood.
