This is ostensibly a sex-education film -- with hardly any education! -- but it's incredibly beautiful. The spring and early summer scenery in Nagano (probably) echo the budding sexuality of the film's young characters. A good dose of German romantic poetry also adds to the barely sublimated sexual atmospherics. The film isn't perfect; the cast is obviously inexperienced and the film hypocritically avoids a frank discussion of sex.... (imdb comment)

To me this was the best one from Mikio Naruse since before the war. It's that age-old tale of parents not wanting to educate their kids about the birds and the bees, and the trauma caused by of not knowing when the young and naive start feeling urges. Doesn't blow any minds as far as originality goes, but it's all done in a rather sweet way, even with the adults own ignorance and fears, so it was definitely a delightful little coming of age film from a more innocent screen era.

This was a light-hearted and somewhat silly film about a girl who learns about the birds and bees.
