CGiii Comment

Slooow and dull.

The muted cinematography adds to the tedium.

A boys' school with all the usual goings-on Japanese-style - which, basically, means nothing is in your face - i.e. there is no blatant boy love - in fact, you'll be pretty hard pushed to find any kind of love in this film that would satisfy the dubiously marketed gay-theme.

Something may have been lost in the translation...but, at 129 arduous minutes, this is a hike in bad weather with ill-fitting boots.

The(ir) Blurb...

The lives of two orphan boys begin to intertwine when the choir and the feelings they share bring them closer to one another.
