Synopsis
Saki and Nobuyuki are pretty lacklustre as far as newlyweds go. Sure, they care for each other, but as they prepare to embark upon a future together, they can’t help but be perturbed by the lack of a certain spark. So when a wacky local fortune-teller and her oddball assistant suggest a holiday to a less-than-usual destination, the couple jump at the chance to escape reality for a while – not realising quite how literal an escape it will be. With its veritable menagerie of circus side-show characters, otherworldly set locations and rollercoaster plot, this (mostly) dry, surreal comedy is guaranteed to entertain. Think underground cartoonist Shiriagari Kotobuki and cult dramatist Terayama Shuji meet Willy Wonka. What? Exactly. Enjoy! The stellar cast includes Yutaka Takenouchi (Oba, the Last Samurai).
