The Prisoner of Sakura (2019)
With all the unrest and uncertainty in the world today, now feels as good a time as any for a movie portraying good will and love between people from opposing countries. The film is a love story set in the city of Matsuyama in Ehime Prefecture on the Japanese island of Shikoku against the historical backdrop of the Russo-Japanese War. The movie is centered around the romance between a Russian officer, a war prisoner in Matsuyama, and a Japanese nurse who find themselves on opposing sides of the war. It is a kind of "Romeo and Juliet story of the Russo-Japanese War".

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Good concept, poorly executed.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
