RAMUNE SODA GIRL, THE cover image
A touching story, well depicted. Speech impediments are a common occurrence among children and this shows a young girl overcoming hers.

From Taiwan, this short film follows a young girl with a stutter who can't speak in front of other people. She forms a relationship with a soda bottle that she decorates and it helps her overcome her speech difficulties. At one point, she gets frustrated with the bottle icon and tosses it into the river, only to rescue it later.

Well produced, with excellent camera work, audio recording and editing. I can relate to the topic as I had a speech impediment as a child and felt ostracized for it, like many children do. The way that the young girl tackles it herself is inspiring.

The film's message is about self-acceptance and addressing your fears.

I give The Ramune Soda Girl 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
