Naru Sakamoto

A young woman spends a day in some non-place between town and countryside, has random encounters and watches stones skip over the surface of the river. Tatsunari Ota’s film explores a world without productivity and finds joy in idle time and playfulness.

Our protagonist drops out of graduate school of an art university with his thesis film incomplete due to his illness. The year is 2020, five years after his drop out. Despite living with his now wife and daughter, he reminisces the past. He struggles to keep a job. He tries going back to a band, while trying to figure out how to become a husband and a father.
