A love-hate relationship quickly develops between sweet country girl Soyo and city boy Hiromi. What starts out as disdain for one another turns into sincere affection. Soon Soyo and Hiromi are inseparable, but the time comes when they must decide what high school to attend. Will Hiromi return to Tokyo or stay with Soyo?

Acclaimed director Yamashita Nobuhiro returns with the 2007 youth romance A GENTLE BREEZE IN THE VILLAGE. Yamashita again takes on a subtle coming-of-age tale, but unlike the spunky wannabe rockers of Linda Linda Linda, the teens in Tennen Kokekko are far removed from the city and ordinary school life. Based on a popular Kuramochi Fusako manga, the film follows a small group of students in a remote rural town, casting a gentle, observant eye on their daily lives and growing pains. Embracing the innocence and insecurities of youth with simplicity, clarity, and sensitivity, A GENTLE BREEZE IN THE VILLAGE is a small, genuine, and gracefully rendered film.

A good formula Japanese film. Nothing bad about it, but nothing outstanding either. Still, if you like films of this genre, you'll like this one.
