A Big Home

Akemi Yoshikawa discovers that her whole office is stuck in a time loop, repeating the same stressful work week over and over. Together with her colleagues she has to find out how to break the loop.

This is a documentary about youth that closely follows all of the students in a single second-year junior high school class. It is set in Japan and shows a "normal junior high school" that is neither urban or rural. This plain view of puberty is portrayed by 35 students.

The story follows a family of five, living quietly and away from prying eyes on the Izu Islands—including the youngest daughter, born invisible. Their mother, who had raised her cheerfully, has passed away from illness, and their anxious father has devoted himself to hiding his daughters from the world. One day, however, they must set out on a journey to visit their grandmother, a famous actress living in Tokyo.
