Antique lighting repair shop owner and lifelong bachelor, Okuuchi Tougo, finds his quiet life disrupted when Yasukawa Yoiko, claiming to be pregnant with his missing son's child, arrives at his doorstep. Initially suspicious of her motives, Tougo reluctantly allows Yoiko to stay. As they live together, Tougo's isolated heart begins to open, thanks to Yoiko's presence. Starring Meijou Mana as Yoiko, "Japan Independence," and Ohashi Hiroshi as Tougo, "The Box of Yōkai," this feature-length debut is directed, written, and edited by Inose Akari.**
