License to Live (ニンゲン合格, Ningen gōkaku) is a 1998 Japanese drama film directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa.
Shortly after, he is picked up by his father's old loner friend, Fujimori who takes him to his fish farm to live that resides on the Yoshii family plot.
While an adult physically, Yutaka displays childlike behavior mentally and finds it difficult to adjust to his new life.
One day, he meets the man responsible for his accident again who is envious about his apparent "success" while he only lives a miserable existence as a construction worker riddled with guilt about the incident.
"[1] The critic Tom Mes wrote that the film "strays far off the beaten path, shunning the predictability of your average celluloid tragedy to deliver genuine laughs".
