Michiko used to work as a live-in part-timer at an izakaya, but suddenly lost her job and her house at the same time due to COVID-19 pandemic. There are no new jobs because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and diners and internet cafes are closed. Michiko is at her wits' end, but there in front of her is a bus stop that stands slightly brightly in the darkness, illuminated only by the streetlights.
Reviews
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
