Two brothers separated by divorce conceive, together with their friends, a desperate plan of reunion. When the new bullet trains pass each other for the first time in opposing directions, will the energy released grant their fervent wish?
AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Rarely have I found such a long film so enjoyable; Great light-hearted entertainment. Will keep an eye out for this director again; Interesting portrayal of Japanese domesticity. Nice kids. That’s it; 20 minutes would have been long enough; Well-intentioned but much too twee and contrived. The soundtrack was also very irritating.
