Plot:
A shy amateur photographer Makoto (Tamaki Hiroshi) and endearing Shizuru (Miyazaki Aoi) meet each other at university. The two often go to a forest together to take photographs. Shizuru secretly loves Makoto, but he only has eyes for another girl. After Shizuru asks Makoto to kiss her in the forest to create the perfect picture, Shizuru disappears!

Extras:

• Scene Access

A wonderful movie. Aoi Miyazaki, who I know as one of the leads from the movie "NANA", is great and really adorable as the child-like Shizuru. I enjoyed the movie throughout. Although I have to admit I was thrown by the ending.
