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.

I love asian movies, specially japanese. However, this was boring from begin to end. Linear and no real story behind.

Not sure about the author’s original intent, but it pretty much felt like a parody of family slice-of-life films with the addition of a few off-the-wall surreal moments. I am not familiar with Japanese television, but it looks like there are quite a few cameo appearances as well. It’s the perfect film to export at festivals overseas and feed the usual “Japanese people are weird” misconception. There are a couple of heartwarming moments and beautiful countryside landscapes, but it drags for way too long
