Movie Rating

Les enfants loups Ame & Yuki

Movie Rating: Agathe Tissier

Japanese animé about two children who turn into wolves when they become angry.

When Hana falls in love at university, she has no idea what lies ahead: she gives birth to two adorable children who turn into wolves when they become angry. A trait they inherited from their father, one of the last wolfmen of Japan. What many think is a myth is actually a characteristic that's hard to hide when you live in the city. When their father dies, Hana must face her dilemma alone. Unable to hide them in her apartment for long, she moves with them to an isolated house close to the forest, where they can develop both their animal and human sides away from the gaze of others...

A nice fairy tale that flirts with both the realism of life in provincial Japan and the fantasy of creatures who roam the countryside at top speed on all fours. A mystical adventure with a beautiful message about tolerance and finding one's role in life, presented with the same elegance as a perfectly folded piece of origami.
