Summary: (from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ourhour) After losing both her parents and her memory in a car accident, young girl Paco (Ayaka Wilson) ends up in a hospital full of strange and wacky types including biker-chick nurse Tamako (Tsuchiya Anna), hysterical former child star Muromachi (Tsumabuki Satoshi), and tyrannical grump Onuki (Yakusho Koji). Everyday Paco wakes up with no memory of the day before, and everyday she runs to Onuki asking him to read aloud her pop-up picture book about a frog king and a crayfish wizard. Onuki, however, has no patience for little girls, and sends her flying. But as the days pass, even an old grouch like Onuki begins to show a soft side. And so, he decides to bring the picture book to life for the hospital's annual play.
Guys, GUYS. I didn't have any real expectations of this movie--hell, I thought it'd be an okay watch, something I'd mention in passing as being good, but otherwise, whatever. BUT. I got so caught up in the story that by the end, I was crying. And if you know me, I NEVER CRY. (I will admit here that I only picked up this movie for TSUMABUKI SATOSHI.)
( Cut for massive spoilers and OMG, I'M GOING TO BABBLE BECAUSE I JUST FINISHED WATCHING IT. And then some caps. :D )
I just basically told the whole story right there, but really, my words don't come close to how GOOD this movie was. It was different, surprising, moving, funny. All these things in one package. I came into the movie not expecting much of anything and I got more than that. A real solid watch and even now, an hour later, my heart is still kinda wibbling at it. God. It was an amazing movie.
