Taro OKAMOTO became world-famous by designing the “Tower of the Sun” at the Expo ’70 in Osaka. The ideas and problems that came with its creation, however, are intertwined with the evolution of Japanese culture – from the Paleolithic up until modern times. In his documentary debut, director Kosai SEKINE takes us on a philosophical journey that transcends the visual limits of documentaries.

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
