Original title: Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki
The theme of the film is the love between parents and children. The story covers 13 years and begins with a 19-year-old college student named Hana who encounters and falls in "fairy tale-like" love with a "wolf man." After marrying the wolf man, Hana… gives birth and raises two wolf children—an older sister named Yuki who was born on a snowy day, and a younger brother named Ame who was born on a rainy day. The four quietly lived in a corner of a city to conceal the existence of the "wolf children," but when the wolf man suddenly dies, Hana decides to move to a rural town far removed from the city.

I'd recommend it because it is tender, beautiful and very honest about how beautiful and exhausting it can be to raise two children who need different paths.
It's a good fit if you're looking for family drama, gentle fantasy, and an emotional movie without big villains.
What separates it from other werewolf stories is that it does not seek to cure Ame and Yuki: it accompanies them while each one decides if they want to live as a human or as a wolf.
