It’s time for fat women to be praised. However, Fujiko (Sato) felt something strange in such a trend .... A comedy co-directed with Atsuko Murobushi, who both had a cooperative relationship as an independent filmmaker. Beyond the black laughs over his appearance, the contemplation of how to reconcile the relationship between "self and others" in the atmosphere of the 1990s is clearly visible.
A girl who believes her lover is swimming in the water in her ears decides to take action one day. She visits her health teacher at the high school she graduated from to complain about her physical problems, and also goes to an ear, nose and throat specialist to consult about her ears, which are prone to water ingress. This is a semi-documentary in which the filmmaker herself plays the role of the girl and goes out with the tool of a film camera to reveal the internal chaos. (IFF, 1994).
