Taeko Okajima is a typical "office lady" in a big company in a big city. When she takes a sabbatical to the countryside in Yamagata Prefecture, the hometown of her brother-in-law, the journey recalled her memory of her 5th grade year. During her stay in Yamagata, she works hard and happily as a farmer and is surrounded by friendly relatives and villagers, bringing up more memories. Their hospitality makes her to reconsider her choice of life.

There've been a lot of Ghibli movies about children growing up, but this might be the only one about adults growing up.

A heartfelt ode to nostalgia and how our past molds our present.

Another chill movie from Ghibli, but it's easier for the 'grown-ups' to enjoy.
