Three women experience ordinary and comical events during a summer’s day on the outskirts of Tokyo. Director KIYOHARA Yui successfully illustrates the Tokyo summer vibe at offices, at cafés, at museums and in parks. A well-orchestrated balance between the mundane, unlucky and lucky coincidences, and memorable encounters.
Aan de rand van Tokyo beleven drie eigenzinnige vrouwen op een zomerdag banale en komische gebeurtenissen. KIYOHARA weet boven alles een enorm sfeervolle zomer in Tokyo te weer te geven, in kantoren, cafés, musea en parken. Een fijne balans tussen het alledaagse, (on)gelukkig toeval, en memorabele ontmoetingen.
