Лунная тень (Тень при лунном свете) (2021)

"Lunaya Ten" (Shadow in the Moonlight) is a uniquely beautiful Japanese melodrama released in 2021. The movie revolves around Nana Komatsu's character, a young woman named Hikari, who, after losing her mother, decides to enroll in a nursing school. There, she meets Mio (played by Hio Miyazawa), who becomes her roommate and best friend. However, things start to change when Hikari falls in love with Asami (played by Asami Usuda), who is also a nurse at the same school.
