Natsuyozora (2019)

A short and sweet omnibus film

So, this is a short film in every sense. The runtime is only one hour and 35 minutes and each of the four stories are about 20 minutes long. That being said there isn't room for intricate plots and a ton of character develpoment. However, I feel like they did a great job telling a complete story with life lessons and a ton of emotion in that timespan. My intial thought was that the stories were very romantic but that is not the case. The romance is very light in this film. It's more focused on dealing with life and deciding your future. The stories will leave you with a warm feeling in your heart but the last film that they show about the teacher and his wife will leave you in a crying puddle. Another cool aspect of this movie is that each story comes with an ending song in the credits that has lyrics made for each story. Even the music videos for the songs has each movie story in it. I'd recommend this film for people who want a quick and sastifying watch that will leave your heart warm.
