What kind of future can you picture?
This is the question posited by director NAKAMURA Yutaro at the start of his latest film, a series of vignettes that bleed into each other. Memories? dreams? Whatever they are, they belong to highschooler Hikari (SAIKI Hikaru) who, along with a friend named Yujiro (HARA Yujiro), get involved with an emotionally unstable man named Takaya (SHIBATA Takaya). Flash-forward a decade or so and they are all 20-somethings bumbling around on New Year’s Eve night. Hikari has picked up an admirer, Kotaro (NAKAMURA Yutaro), while Takaya is shacked up with a young woman named Anzu (OGAWA An). A tumultuous night together leads to a quarrel and a truly bizarre New Year’s Day. It’s not a straightforward experience as we surf through these experiences and question whether they are imagined but the feeling of airy freedom and endless possibilities at the end is pleasant.
