Seven girls become good friends in high school, then events pull them apart for 25 years. When one of the friends lies dying in a hospital, she wishes to see each of them one last time.
This is a fantastic film. It reminds me a lot of a Hamaguchi in that it is a women-centric story about relationships. But the resemblance ends there. This is an epic film about the survival and meaning of friendship that has humor, pathos, drama and even a touch of magic surrealism. If anything I've mentioned is up your alley, then don't pass on this one.
