“We want to live a fulfilling life. The everyday life plays a important part in that.”
Featuring a couple who lives in Tokyo, illustrates, often with humor, the difficulties and dilemma they encounter in the everyday lives. Structurally, the freedom of narrative is developed, and by dealing with all the characters equally in details as concrete existence, the universal question “what is the everyday life?” would be apparent in diverse perspectives, which the audience will reflect upon.
