What a beautiful story about motherhood, identity, and growing up. Every frame of animation is beautiful, especially the gorgeous scenes of rural, mountainous Japan. And the symbolism of wolf children who have two "sides" their their identity, two sides that only conflict because of society is brilliant to reflect on. Who am I? How must I adapt? Who can I confide in? The mother, Hana, is so loveable and tries so hard. I cried multiple times. Great film.
