On Meg’s seventeenth birthday, she learns that she only has one year left to live. Her mentor—the Eternal Witch, Faust—explains that she is cursed and the only way to save herself is to grow a seed of life using one thousand tears of joy. Of course,… such tears aren’t easy to come by. As Meg begins her quest, she finds herself drawn into the lives of her friends and neighbors in ways she never imagined. By sharing their burdens and using her magic to comfort them, she learns how precious those moments of connection can be even in the face of death.
Platform catalogue reviewed on . Availability varies by country and date.
I'd recommend it for its warmth and for seeing Meg turn small encounters and happy tears into a real opportunity to continue living.
You'll enjoy it if you're looking for emotional fantasy, everyday magic and a story that mixes sadness with hope.
Unlike the curse that is broken by defeating someone, Meg needs to gather a thousand tears of joy; saving yourself depends on improving the lives of other people.
