School girl Miyuri Obara is bullied mercilessly but finds relief in an unexpected friendship with Tsumugi. Yet even as Miyuri's life turns around there's a lingering suggestion that something is not quite right.
While Tamaki’s partner Sui was away for the summer, she consumed a watermelon seed and began growing a watermelon in her body. They make a promise to eat the ripe watermelon together.
This is the question posited by director Nakamura Yutaro at the start of his latest film, a series of vignettes that bleed into each other. Memories? dreams? Whatever they are, they belong to highschooler Hikari who, along with a friend named Yujiro, get involved with an emotionally unstable man named Takaya. Flash-forward a decade or so and they are all 20-somethings bumbling around on New Year’s Eve night. Hikari has picked up an admirer, Kotaro, while Takaya is shacked up with a young woman named Anzu. A tumultuous night together leads to a quarrel and a truly bizarre New Year’s Day. It’s not a straightforward experience as we surf through these experiences and question whether they are imagined but the feeling of airy freedom and endless possibilities at the end is pleasant.

The job seems so simple: a short break-in, bagging stolen goods, bending over. But things turn out very differently for the three young gangsters Nico, Narita and Jo. Not only is the item you are looking for in an unbreakable safe, but somehow you also kill the owner. As if that weren't enough, the trio - just one stolen car later - is also expanded into a quartet by a woman who is tied up. This is just the beginning of a twisty escape odyssey in which, despite fear and anger, there is still enough space for friendship and the luxury of idleness.
