Non Non Biyori Vacation

Some comfort shows are at their best when the characters leave home. In this film, a village so small that its entire school is five students and one teacher takes a three-day trip to Okinawa, and the trip is exactly as low-stakes as it sounds.

The tone is gentle and unhurried. It is a comedy built on small moments, like kayaking, swimming and meeting strangers, with a young, mostly female ensemble whose banter carries things along. A late-summer feeling hangs over it, since the vacation arrives just as the season is ending. Nothing here is trying to rush you, and that is the appeal: this is the kind of film you put on to slow your own day down.

It is a single movie from SILVER LINK., so it asks for one evening and very little energy. More than twenty-seven thousand people have added it to their lists, and they rate it well, which makes it a quiet favorite more than a famous one. Look for it on HIDIVE, preferably with something warm to drink.
