When two souls find one another, nothing can tear them apart. Widower Takumi lives a quiet life with his six-year-old son Yuji after the loss of wife and mother Mio. Yuji unfailingly remembers her promise to him: “I’ll be with you again in a year’s time, when the rains come.” On the first anniversary of her passing, Takumi and Yuji are taking a walk in the woods when they come across a woman sheltering from a monsoon downpour.

My Japanese friend, Ayumi, loaned me this DVD to watch… sans subtitles. She said I wouldn’t have any problems following the story. I didn’t. And it’s such a sad story. Someday I’d like to revisit just to see what I missed. But I did talk to Ayumi afterwards and she filled in some of the story.
