This film is set in a
small downtown Tokyo duplex, a man and his wife run printing
business. They also live here with
his young daughter and his recently divorced sister. They live quietly until Kagawa drops by, he talks and charms
his way into a job and a place to live by claiming he is the son of a man who
invested in their business. Soon after, to their surprise, Kagawa’s wife arrives. She says she is from
Brazil but she may be from Bosnia?
The next surprise is that many people come to stay with Kagawa, enough to fill the place and he
claims they are relatives of his wife?
The family is so
polite they find it hard to refuse Kagawa no matter what happens. Supposed to be comedy but I didn’t find
this at all funny. The pace is
very slow and it seems to take forever to complete small tasks. The family does not communicate very
well and as more people are added to the mix, they seem to fall apart
further. 3* (This movie is OK)
