A spell of time in the life of the five-piece Haruno family in rural Tochigi Prefecture. Yoshiko is not an ordinary housewife, instead working on an animated film project. Uncle Ayano, a successful music producer, is looking to get his head together after living in Tokyo. Meanwhile, Sachiko is concerned with why she seems to be followed by a giant version of herself. As the lazy days pass by, each member of the family is followed in a series of episodic vignettes.

Quirky with a capital Q...
– G. Allen Johnson,
San Francisco Chronicle,

fresh:
The film could easily lose a half-hour, but it rewards with a promise that there are unexpected marvels in the world and moments of real grace.

'Weird but cool,' as one character says -- yet the movie is also remarkably touching.
– Andrea Gronvall,
Chicago Reader,

fresh:
The most charming comedy in town, writer-director-editor Katsuhito Ishii's 2003 piece is a modern Japanese variation on You Can't Take It With You, with some lovely fantastical flourishes.
– Michael Phillips,
Chicago Tribune,

fresh:
A description someone gives of a song involved in one of the film's many detours neatly summarizes the movie itself: 'It's more cool than weird, and it stays in your head.'
