Bayar grows up among herds of cattle and goats and spends much of his time in the yard with the animals. In contrast, when Mari has the chance to visit a zoo in Tokyo, seeing the tiger almost automatically makes her cry. However, this experience goes on to pose the question of how would Bayar manage the city of Tokyo? Would it make him feel uncomfortable? This was one of the things I found surprising about this film, especially because I had never spent much time really thinking about how the environments we grow up in affect what feels natural to us..
