The film focuses on the lives of the Haruno family, who live in the countryside north of Tokyo. Nobuo is a hypnotherapist. He teaches his son, Hajime, the board game Go, but Hajime has a rough time with girls. Yoshiko refuses to be an average housewife, and works on animated film projects. She uses assistance from Grandfather Akira, an eccentric old man who is a former animator and occasional model. Eight year old Sachiko periodically sees a silent, giant-sized double of herself which mimics or watches her. Uncle Ayano is a sound engineer and record producer who comes to stay for a visit.
A delightful and entertaining slice of life-drama. I love how it really just portrays the lives of a family with everyday problems, but every member of the family feels special and are all sharing the main role. You'll be smiling through the whole movie, and a movie that makes you happy really sound like the best kind.
