Hirobumi WATANABE 渡辺紘文
And The Mud Ship Sails Away
Nippon Visions ½
Takashi, 36 years old and unemployed, is completely aimless. He lives with his grandmother, repeating the same routine - game center, bowling center, watching TV - day after day. This suddenly changes when Yuka shows up, claiming to be his half-sister. Confronted with a new situation, Takashi finally makes a decision. Whether it is a good one, remains to be seen.
