Aka No Mizu

After the death of his daughter, middle-aged Sakaki, formerly a writer, puts down his pen to live a quiet life in the countryside. One day, he is asked to take care of his seven year-old granddaughter, Asami, for a few days. Since her mother's death, young Asami closed up inside of herself. Life for the two of them is forced. As time passes, though, Asami starts to feel the natural cycle of life and death around her, and she begins to change little by little.
