2004 Japan

The movie has a very beautiful music and a nice atmosphere. It is a certainly movie that can be recommended for whole family. A kind of a movie that can somehow touch everybody, regardless of age.

Also the movie has a kind of gentle touch, despite it's a little sad ending scene.

Somehow, it made me think really about different matters, I never thought how guide dogs are actually trained. More interesting, the movie has a pretty nice main characters, especially the blind guy who is refusing to accept that he needs a guide dog.

The movie feels very nicely Japanese. Accepting the change is the main topic of the movie, how Quill, the guide dog, finds friends but eventually has to part from them. Eventually, isn't that what happens to all of us?
