When a theater troupe's master visits his old flame, he unintentionally sets off a chain of unexpected events with devastating consequences.
The Village
Enjoy this little slice of what city people call
This appears to be a labor of love. Its about a village which is given the opportunity to put on a musical. They would have to pay the overhead and, being that they are farmers and always busy and not rich, question the wisdom and feasibility of such an idea. A spokesperson for the acting troupe Ms. Kono lays out the whole thing and they must decide. You get little slices of rural life in Japan far, at least in sentiment, from Tokyo. The best thing about this film is that it has heart. The acting is good, but it is really about the simple storyline of outing on a show. Films rarely get made with such simplistic plots these days. Enjoy this little slice of what city people call “the simple life”.

W. A. Mozart's childhood was very busy, connected with constant travelling, full of fame and admiration. His father Leopold, an accomplished musician, led his son purposefully towards the role of child prodigy. However, their travels in Europe were not only associated with success, but also with the family's struggle for subsistence and the mother's eternal fear for the fragile health of her children. And so we follow Mozart's first steps in the world of music to the premiere of his first opera, La finta semplice, which he wrote at the age of twelve.
