Tokyo Sunrise (2016)

Both are calm, slow, lowkey japanese movies following characters arriving at a new place, meeting new people, forming new relationships after theyre hit with unexpected tragedy. They also both deal with grief and loss and depict some of the realities of life and moving on. Theyre quite hopeful. Both films also share the same director which explains the similar vibe.
