Overview

A spell of time in the life of a family in rural Tochigi prefecture. Yoshiko is not an ordinary housewife, instead working on an animated film project. Uncle Ayano, a successful music producer, is looking to get his head together after living in Tokyo. Meanwhile, Sachiko is concerned with why she seems to be followed by a giant version of herself. As the lazy days pass by, each member of the family is followed in a series of episodic vignettes.

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A languid, dreamlike portrait of a rural family whose everyday moments are interrupted by gentle surrealism, watching sunsets and living their quiet lives while the world behaves in subtly impossible ways.
