Plots(1)
Shiraiwa is a lonesome man in his 40s who returns to his hometown after a divorce and decides to attend a vocational school. Satoshi is a cheerful but eccentric woman who works at a theme park in the daytime and at a bar as a hostess at night. Both of them represent lonely people who have a hard time surviving in the world. Their monotonous lives between home and school or between home and the bar are suddenly disrupted by their painful pasts. A man and a woman, devastated by pressure and stress, serve as portraits of today's youth. Yamashita's view of adult life materialized in a television drama series entitled Shinya Shokudo, but takes an obvious and deliberate step forward in this film. (Busan International Film Festival)
