Storyline

2017. An old man being treated in a hospital is always clinging to what appears to be a screenplay for a film. When a young nurse, Amane, asks him, "What's it about?" he bashfully begins to tell the story. "It's a magical tale of a young man..." 1960. Makino Kenji is an Assistant Director at a film studio. He dreams of one day becoming a director, but all he does now is run errands. Kenji's outlet and secret pleasure is watching his favorite old romantic movie at the theater -- an old black and white treasure that only showed for a brief period before being cancelled.

User Reviews

Beautifully Told

The story is simple and predictable but beautifully told until the end. Although this kind of weird love is already happened, for example a man who married his sex doll. Not a good example. If all people really fall in love to something unreal, human will stop reproducing. We will surely soon be extinct.
