Plot

A spell of time in the life of a family living in rural Tochigi Prefecture.

Yoshiko is not an ordinary housewife — she works on an animated film project at home. Her husband Nobuo is a hypnotherapist. Their teenage son Hajime struggles with girls and puberty while becoming an excellent Go player. Young daughter Sachiko is followed everywhere by a giant version of herself. Uncle Ayano, a successful music producer from Tokyo, comes to stay and sort out his feelings.

Through a series of quirky, episodic, and surreal vignettes, we follow the daily life and dreams of this eccentric but lovable family.
