You can stream Princess from the Moon (1987) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

Two poor, married farmers have recently lost their only child; after a freak visitation, they pry open an alien cocoon to greet their new daughter.

A lonely, rural Japanese farm becomes the site of a cosmic miracle when an otherworldly cocoon lands in the dirt. This quiet sci-fi fable trades spectacle for a tender, surreal look at how grief and wonder collide.
