关于此电影

An impossible tale. Taro, an old man who dies homeless in Tokyo has told Yosuke, a weak-willed out-of-work salaryman about a golden statue that he left years ago in a house by the sea in Noto. Yosuke goes and he's captivated by Saeko, a young women who lives in the house where Taro left the statue. She has a strange affliction: water builds up in her and she can only vent it by wicked acts, such as shoplifting, or, more powerfully, through orgasm. Yosuke obliges, the water gives him life, as well as the plants and fish it reaches. Saeko feels shame, and she has a past. Taro's ghost urges Yosuke to fulfill his desires, but can the relationship survive?

评分和评价

This is supposed to be a comedy, however, it's very much so an inspiring, chase your dream, deeply insightful, hilarious love story. The plot engine is just a very small part of the story. My wife introduced this to me and at first I rolled my eyes. But I'd watch it again and have already sent it to close friends. My one critique is that the writers were very emphatic about most things in this movie, with the exception of the ending. Enough was alluded to to understand what happened, but I personally like it best when things are spelled out plainly.

Hilarious trailer.
