Mio on the Shore (2019)

Both are calm, slow, lowkey japanese movies following characters arriving at a new place, meeting new people, forming new relationships after theyre hit with unexpected tragedy. They also both deal with grief and loss and depict some of the realities of life and moving on. Theyre quite hopeful. Both films also share the same director which explains the similar vibe.

Both movies are a coming of age films that includes a Female lead moving to the city and due to their difficult circumstances in the countryside. Leaving their painful past and starting fresh.

Similar theme and setting. Both revolves around interest of the leads (both are young females) towards public bath (sent?), albeit a bit from different perspectives. Not really surprising since both are written and directed by the same person (Nakagawa Ryutaro).
