Haru to Natsu is a captivating drama commemorating the 80th anniversary of NHKs broadcasting service. The emotional story revolves around two sisters, Haru and Natsu, who are separated for 70 years between Japan and Brazil. In 1934, Haru and her family emigrate from Hokkaido to Brazil, leaving younger sister Natsu behind in Japan due to an eye disease. Seven decades later, Haru returns to Japan to find Natsu. However, Natsu, harboring feelings of abandonment, initially rejects her sister. The emotional barrier begins to break when they discover a treasure trove of undelivered letters they wrote to each other over the years. Through these letters, they uncover their contrasting yet parallel struggles: Haru surviving as an immigrant laborer in Brazil, and Natsu navigating the hardships of World War II and the postwar economic boom as a self-made business owner in Japan. Haru to Natsu beautifully explores family ties, resilience, and the true meaning of homeland through the lives of these two sisters.
