Existential study on a newly unemployed factory worker who silently moves through the city, unknowingly influencing other people's lives.
Sinekatalog’s take
A newly jobless factory worker moves through the city unaware of how he affects others. A quirky, deadpan Japanese comedy about chance and connection, absurd and good-natured.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
