Storyline:

Satoshi is only in the fifth grade at elementary school. He is unhappy with his father, his perfidy and the company he keeps. Enter transfer student Kozue who is different and exciting. She is not just any different though. She truly is from far away and has a gift for Satsohi and the townspeople. The town grow close.

User review:

Itxe2x80x99s inconceivable that an American film would include a scene in which a pubescent boy and his father compare their balls. (xe2x80x9cTheyxe2x80x99re disgusting,xe2x80x9d is Dadxe2x80x99s take on his own junk.) Itxe2x80x99s no more likely that a Steven Spielberg would ever produce the subtle riff on time, entropy, or the more ineffable mysteries of life seen here, in a Japanese film that otherwise is about an ET. In this case, shexe2x80x99s the very pretty daughter of a woman working for 11-year-old Satoshixe2x80x99s mother, although Makuko makes no effort to conceal that she and xe2x80x9cMomxe2x80x9d are both off-planet visitors, of a species that can never die, or change. Thus, young Satoshixe2x80x99s existential trauma over aging, wet dreams, and the general frailty of the human condition becomes wonderfully confabulated with a first love who craves the experience of those very things. (Okay, maybe not the wet dreams.) This is a beautiful film: modest, warm, and unflashy in all ways, not counting its sometimes startling photography.
