It was shown off in the 2015 Cannes Film Festival in May, and again in the Toronto International Film Festival in September.The film's main character is Sentaro (Masatoshi Nagase), a middle-aged dorayaki maker running out of a shop in Tokyo. He frequently sees a schoolgirl named Wakana (Uchida), but things change when an old woman named Tokue (Kiki) shows up one day and asks about a job offering posted out front. Though initially reluctant to hire someone so old, Sentaro changes his mind after getting a taste of Tokue's handmade sweet bean paste, a filling for dorayaki pancakes. The story revolves around one's freedom to make choices in life and acceptance of the consequences that come with them.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| Sweet Bean / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Tokue is dead, Wakana has officially run away from home, and Sentaro never got to give Tokue the letter explaining why he makes dorayaki. However, Tokue left behind an inspiring message. Thanks to her words of wisdom, Sentaro has found a way to make dorayaki production his own, rather than a job forced upon him, and Wakana seems to have gotten back on her own two feet. | |

Caged Bird Metaphor: Wakana owns a canary named Marvy that spends most of the movie in a cage. The scene after Tokue posthumously reveals she set Marvy free in a cassette recording is the moment both Sentaro and Wakana are free from their own prisons of responsibility and home life. | |

The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes: Sentaro doesn't like dorayaki. He makes it because he's a good cook, and because he has no choice. | |
