POSSIBLE SPOILERS!

This film fully reflects the Buddhist idea that “loving hearts are sure to be born nearby.” The paradox is that often this “nearby” is so close that all love is forbidden. Unfortunately, most English translators, and Russian ones too, paid special attention to the concept of “incest,” although in the Japanese language version of this film any concepts of kinship are so vague that I, for example, have doubts about the “blood” relationship of the main characters. For example, the hero calls his mother “second mother” several times, the heroes’ childhood together is shown only from about 3-5 years of age, the heroine clearly remembers the wedding of her parents - which does not happen if a child is born in marriage. Even the appearance of the characters is different to such an extent that Yori’s best friend, Ore-san, is surprised at the very beginning: “It’s not at all noticeable that she’s your sister... the complete opposite...” Errors in translation grow to such an extent that several times the characters are called “twins”, although according to the plot itself they study in different classes and perceive life from completely different age levels. But enough.

The characters of the film are a boy and a girl, Iori and Yuki. Yori is a stylish, but not very diligent young man, obsessed with a passion, strange even for him, for Yuki - supposedly his own sister. From an early age, he sees in her not a sister, but a “bride”, then - a woman whom he could only love... His feelings for her are very ambivalent and unstable - he is jealous of her, and is afraid of offending her, and offends her, arriving blinded by his passion. Finally, she begins to simply “irritate him”, that he “cannot be in the same room with her”, “cannot contain himself”.
Yuki is a representative of the “naive girls” so beloved by hentai authors and not only; she is a child with the body of an adult woman, looking at the world with surprise and cloudlessness. Naturally - after all, her peace and quiet is protected by such a big and strong “Elder Brother”. In Yuki's mind, he merges into everything good, reliable and loving that exists in the world. Iori “protects” his little sister from all sorts of “attacks and scum,” one must think (and Iori talks about this in the middle of the film) and from possible suitors too. Everyday Japanese wisdom: “If you want to have a good wife, raise her from childhood.” Iori has such an opportunity. Not only is he the center of her entire childhood world for Yuki, but they also live in the same room and sleep on the same bed (albeit a bunk bed) until the age of 15-17, study at the same school, have common secrets and happy memories etc.
The story begins from the moment when Iori's hormones play with terrible force, literally forcing him to do all sorts of rash things - he is forced to be angry with Yuki, communicate with her as little as possible, even transfer to another school - so as not to see the object of his desires. Yuki (a teenage girl) clearly does not understand the reasons that push Iori away from her, and tries in every possible way to attract her brother’s attention, to return, as it seems to her, his “fading love.” Along the way, Yori does a wild thing - he, trying to forget and distract himself from thoughts about Yuki, spends the night with her classmates - Kuzumi, thus locking himself in a circle of vice. A simple thought arises in his head that if Yuki gives herself to him, she will probably love him not only as a brother, but also as a man...
Unlike most anime heroes, who do not know how to admit their own feelings, Yori literally “drives” into his sister’s head the idea that “his bad behavior is caused by his desire.” He stuns Yuki with a declaration of love, colorfully unfolds in front of her pictures of what he would like to do with her, driving the girl into shock. Yuki, in panic and complete confusion, feels that she has lost her brother, and is completely unsure that “her beloved man Yori” is more attractive to her. However, she cannot refuse her brother anything, she wants to help him in every possible way (naturally, at the level of her own childhood experience), his words about his love for her and his readiness to die in case of refusal, deeply hurt her and leave her practically no choice. Moreover, Yuki sees that her place as a sister is taken by her friend Kuzuki Tomoko - cheerfully chirping with her brother “about nothing”... Jealousy awakens in Yuki’s soul, she happily grabs the first hint thrown by Yori and they run away to where Iori first outlined his own dream (a beautiful place near a Catholic church).

This is where a curious thing happens - pagan ideas about family and marriage come into conflict with strict Catholic and modern public morality. Iori acts as a true supporter of Confucius, arguing that “love will sweep away everything,” and Yuki is tormented by the thought that such love is nothing more than a sin, an indelible sin before God. In her soul there is a struggle between her brother and her loved one...
The conversation between Iori and Kuzumi, accidentally overheard by Yuki, helps decide the outcome of the battle. Having learned that her friend spent the night with her brother, Yuki flares up with jealousy and, without controlling her own words, says to him “Then die”, to his words “Without you I will die...” Iori takes her words “Die” calmly, and Yuki , for whom the same “die” from her brother’s lips would sound like a direct order, shocked by what she had done, decides to skimp on her own principles and prove to Iori that she is no worse than Kuzumi, and is just as capable of love.

A night at the hotel puts everything in place. Then Yori understands that despite all his passion for his sister, for her he is always a Brother, with whom she will be tender, submissive, affectionate, even loving, but loving unrequitedly, sacrificially, motherly... not the way she loves a man his woman. The hero tries to realize his own mistake and cannot. The viewer, by the way, easily finds this mistake (like he was in a hurry, guy :)) Then, in order not to torment his sister and not suffer himself, looking at her constant sacrifice “for the good,” Iori decides to carry out his original plan - to leave and never see each other again with Yuki... again (once again) without thinking about her feelings. In the final conversation with Ore, he utters a phrase remarkable in its vulgarity: “Time will heal everything... even love...”, abdicating all responsibility for what he did to his sister, who gave him both body and soul. Ore-san (the wisest hero of the film) responds to this: “Yes, time heals... It is like a surgeon cutting off parts of your body, your soul, love... yes. And one day there is nothing left of you. And from her ...even less! "It's interesting that this phrase is poetic - probably some kind of well-known one... Iori doesn't care about it at all. He lives by his ideas...
“Liar” - everyone tells him once (Parents, Yuki, Kuzumi, Ore), but only now he becomes a Liar to the end. He begins to deliberately lie, deceiving Yuki and supporting her false dreams of “rainbow happiness”, however, preparing to say goodbye to her forever...
and leaves, leaving his sister with a heart full of unspent love for him, a heart given only to him, a soul devoted to him. Iori's final gift is also quite symbolic. He gives Yuki a toy - a live dog that will “brighten up your waiting days.” But Iori will never return, and therefore Iori's dog - chan - is Yuki's devotion, responsibility and loyalty, given not to a person, to a dog, but Yuki herself is the same dog, a little broken soul, who has become an eternal living toy of someone's "impossible dream" .
