Little Forest: Summer & Autumn

While the Korean version stole my heart, the original Japanese version of Little forest was also a great watch. It keeps the peaceful feeling of the Korean version but with more time to flesh out the characters and the story. It is also interesting to see how the recipes differ.

Both are Japanese productions centered around women who live alone and the food they make. Both have an autumn-time setting.

Both movies are about simple life in rural Japan. Both are based on famous manga. Both movies are very similar.
