The suicide of her son Koichi causes Yuko to fall into a short coma. After she regains consciousness, her family realises that Yuko has lost all memory of Koichi's death and starts pretending that he is still alive.

Nojiru's feature debut is an effective and deeply moving combination of both melodramatic and comedic elements.

Screening as part of The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2020 - Happiness is a State of Mind: Joy and Despair in Japanese Cinema. 

Organised by the Japan Foundation with Major Support from Japan Airlines, Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation, and Yakult, with Sponsorship in Kind from SUQQU, and in Cultural Partnership with Modern Culture.
