Comments: When the little girl asks "Can we walk home from school tomorrow?", it's brave and wonderful; when she shows up with an umbrella to walk her crippled friend to school after they had a fight: priceless. This film's heart is in the right place, but it didn't flow very well due to the multiple timeline structure.
Summary: Based on a novel by Kiyoshi Shigematsu, Ryuichi Hiroki‘s “Your Friend” tells the story of a lifelong friendship between two girls. Emi (Anna Ishibashi) has a degenerative kidney disease and Yuka (Ayu Kitaura) has a limp from a car accident which was partly caused by Emi. Although Yuka initially holds a grudge, the two eventually grow closer due to their mutual understanding of what it’s like to be impaired. The two of them experience many trials over the years, but through it all they remain friends.
