The movie is 'Haru and Natsu' NHK series opening.
This series talk about 2 sisters who have been separeted during the immigration age, before the WW2. Which one has beared the situation with her own detail.
The majority of the scenes filmed in Brazil was done in Campinas. My mother and my younger brother have had participation as extras there.
The history shows the hard situation faced by the Japanese familys in Brazil, specially problems related to language, food, even racial discrimination, mainly during the war.
When my mother has watched the series, she cryed a lot, just coz the movie situation is so actual.
One curiosity: The ship when my Mother's family has came to Brazil in 1957 is Santos Maru, the same of the showed in the NHK's production.
