    Highly recommended. Those who understand it will be moved to tears. A sick girl with no friends, newly arrived in a strange place, meets a boy who has also been adopted and is accompanying his mother to work at the hospital. From then on, their fates intertwine for a very long time. A memoir-style autobiographical story of unrequited love and letting go. The expression is very restrained, with tons of memorable lines. The simple portrayal of the mother-daughter relationship and the love between the older generation is also very touching. In short, love is a high degree of trust.
