Thanks for the recommendation! The short film has an inspirational story line (for me). My brother's wife was raised on an Okayama farm, where her elderly parents still live. When my brother and his wife started long distance courtship, I took pictures of my brother on his (now) 60+ year old old tractor. I didn't think it wise to send that sort of photo to a potential spouse, but it worked. She and her two teenage daughters moved to rural Wisconsin the next year. In the spring, my brother plowed a field for her. She planted an ambitious one acre garden. Not too long after, it was gobbled up by critters. I'm sure she was heartbroken. She never planted again
