The Japanese film Happy Bread is a warm and warm healing film.

The hero, Mr. and Mrs. Shuiyu, run a cafe called "Mani" in a place called Yuepu in Hokkaido.

"Mani" is the name of the moon in the heroine's favorite picture book. For Richard, Marni is the existence of first love.

And the moon seems to have a metaphor that symbolizes happiness. The moonlight in the night has appeared in the film many times, which is warm and warm.

Mr. and Mrs. Shuiyu left the bustling Tokyo a year ago and opened this cafe in Yuepu. Mr. Shui Mi is good at making bread by hand, and Mrs. Shui Mi is responsible for making coffee by hand and cooking with seasonal ingredients.

The screen is full of mellow coffee aroma and satisfying bread aroma, accompanied by green grass, blue sea water and bright and warm colors. Eating and staying in such a cafe is really a happy experience.

The director and screenwriter of this film is Yukiko Mishima, a female director who has made numerous excellent documentaries for NHK. This is her first time to shoot a feature film, which also shows her good strength. First of all, the picture makes people feel comfortable and yearning.

in terms of the storyline, the whole film consists of three stories. The customers in the coffee shop are the protagonists of these stories. Young men and women who met in summer, father and daughter who healed their mother's leaving home in autumn, and elderly couples who were reborn in winter. The protagonists in every story are healed and redeemed in Mani Cafe. The considerate couple, enthusiastic neighbors and regular customers use food, music and sincere smiles to cheer up people who are frustrated, frustrated, sad and desperate in life, gain new life and embrace happiness.

Nine times out of ten, life is unhappy, and everyone will encounter all kinds of bad things at different stages of life. Those hurdles that make us feel as if we can't get through, those burdens that seem to overwhelm us, and those moments that seem to knock us down have made us doubt life and ourselves. We have asked ourselves countless times, why me? Why did this happen to me? Am I never going out again?

Just like a lovelorn girl can't swim in the sea with her favorite boy in Okinawa, she can only come to Hokkaido alone. It's like longing for Tokyo, but I can only change tracks for the train day after day by the tracks in Hokkaido, watching the train go to a distant place where he seems to never go with his envious and lost eyes.

Fortunately, they met in Mani Cafe, two frustrated people and two lonely hearts, which were brought closer by the connection of good food and telling each other about their depression.

It's not cowardice to show one's cowardice. It's an obstacle to throw off one's baggage and embrace courage to smile. Just as a boy comforts a girl and says: When you admit that you are not handsome, it means that a person is really mature. If people have never struggled, they will never feel the taste of happiness.

Yes, we always want smooth sailing. We always want everything to be as we wish, but it often backfires. What we think is not what we think. When people and things can't satisfy our wishes, it's normal that we can't let go and get over it.

we want to get out, we want to get rid of the burden, but we are not reconciled. I feel that I am already very good, but why doesn't the other party like me and choose me? I think I have done well, but why can't I get the results I want? I think I have the ability to do bigger things, but why am I stuck in this small place?

we don't want to struggle, but life always wants us to struggle.

then struggle. Just like Mr. Shui Mi's hand-made bread, it needs to be patiently mixed with hands, quietly waiting for fermentation and slowly waiting for baking. It is simple and simple without complicated decoration and excessive seasoning, but every step is rigorous, meticulous and thoughtful. The seemingly unpretentious bread has the most real and natural taste.

"Simple bread is also good", and Mrs. Shui Mi's words tell the true meaning of life.

Don't think too much. Go ahead in a down-to-earth manner, with tears, pain, incomprehension, disappointment, regret and unwillingness, and take every step under your feet.

The girl had an unforgettable birthday here. Sincere care and sincere food made her cheer up and return to the bustling city with new courage and love.

In autumn, a sad father and daughter walked into the cafe. The little girl's mother left without saying goodbye, which made her home full of laughter and laughter suddenly dim and cold. She misses the happy and delicious dinner of the family of three in the past, but now it seems that she can't eat it anymore, and she can't drink the pumpkin soup cooked by her mother anymore.

although, she misses it very much.

In Mani Cafe, the intimate couple of Shuizi prepared a warm dinner, golden pumpkin soup and plain buns for them. Kind-hearted regular customers play accordion for father and daughter.

finally, the father and the daughter finally opened their hearts and faced the reality that they didn't want to face, but they had to face it-mom would never come back.

however, they have to support each other and move forward. Just like the full and solid bun, the father and the daughter share it and eat it together with pumpkin soup. In the future life, they will do the same, and live together in a home without a mother.

the pain may still be there. But isn't life just about moving forward with pain?

On a snowstorm night, an old couple came to the cafe. The old lady died soon, and the desperate old gentleman didn't want his wife to suffer, nor did he want to bear the loneliness of living alone in the future. They came here to end their lives together.

However, the bean bread of the Shuiyu couple rekindled the old lady's belief in living.

food has healing power. And in many cases, what cures people is not a luxurious meal, but a common meal cooked with heart.

The ingredients from nature and the earth are originally the existence of vitality, and when we get the satisfaction of color, flavor and food energy from them, we can also feel the care and encouragement of the people who make all this.

The old lady and queen mother who came home died, and the old man still guarded the bathhouse where they operated and lived together. Live well with the old lady's faith.

in his letter to Mr. and Mrs. Shui Shui, he wrote: "I think it is true happiness to live according to my nature and be with my companions."

Although his companion, who has been caring for each other for decades, is gone, the courage and happiness of this life that he gained with his wife in Mani Cafe will always give him strength.

The story of summer, autumn and winter is over. While using the beauty diet to heal others, Shuiju and his wife also healed themselves, fulfilling the happiness of the guests and keeping themselves in happiness all the time.

And in spring, they will welcome a new guest. Who will it be? You can go to Mani Cafe to find out.
