For our 16th session, we will be screening "5 Centimeters Per Second", a Japanese animated film directed by Makoto Shinkai. The movie was told in three interconnected segments, as we follow a young man named Takaki through his life as cruel winters, cold technology, and finally, adult obligations and responsibility converge to test the delicate petals of love.
