The Magic of Ordinary Days

This was a great movie. Set in a time when pregnancy out of wedlock is frowned upon and the Japanese are in war camps. Livvy finds out she is pregnant and her father sends her away to a place where a man (Ray) has agreed to marry her. Ray is a simple farmer and lives by himself. The Japanese at the camp work his farm. Livvy stays mostly at the house, but when ever she can she sends mail to her boyfriend who is the father of the child, even though she is married to Ray. While living on the farm Livvy befriends two of the Japanese girls who actually were born in the States, but because of their heritage are forced to be in the camp. Livvy feels some connection to them because she kind of feels like them. Forced to be married and far away from everything she knows. She helps them when she can.
Livvy's sister comes to visit and tells Livvy she wants to taker her home. But Livvy has slowly become used to her new life and decides to stay. She falls in love with Ray and they have the child.
It is a very classic movie with resistance and then love. but I enjoyed it. there are some different aspects that make it interesting. I would recommend it.
