ny way the movie ends with Mari waiting for the bus to go back to her mother in Tokyo with Dick! That guy, seriously! Not that I hate him or anything really. he wasn’t that much of a blockade anyway and he helped Mari out a bit, I think. And so the movie ends and I wouldn’t have asked for a better ending. Mari came back to her home town to heal and found much more than what she had come for. Seeing her leave with a smile that she most definitely did not have when she arrived and how healthy she seemed compared to her arrival, makes a complete story if I ever saw one.
