Synopsis: | In 1986, two Japanese women, Rumi and Mika, were roommates at a Women's' Residence in New York City. Twenty years later, the two women now in their 40s meet by happy coincidence-on the subway. Now Rumi is married with three children, a designer who owns her own store. Mika remains single, perpetually youthful, studying dance at the same school, wearing the same cheap clothes, living in the same room in the same residence, and working off the books at the same restaurant she did when she came to the Big Apple. Mika seems satisfied with her sparse lifestyle, though, not very envious of Rumi's success, wealth, and full family life. When a subway delay forces the two women to catch up more frankly on old wounds than an ordinary commuter trip would have enabled, their friendship-once abandoned-is once again tested. | |||||

Synopsis: | Spring is about to bloom in 1970, Osaka, Japan. As 6 PM approaches, the family of GRANDFATHER-- 78, GRANDMOTHER-- 74, MOTHER-- 38, YUKO-- 13, AIKO-- 9, TARO-7, and the family dog, PETER start their very happy family dinner. An unexpected visitor in white arrives-and he brought his appetite. Hiding behind sunglasses and claims of being a Food Coordinator, he samples his way through the family's courses and their lives, saying that they must prove themselves on culinary and domestic fronts if they want to be lucky enough to get sent to Hawaii as winners in the "Happy Family Dinner Contest '70." Though it's a contest the family didn't know they were contestants for, they compete vigorously. | |||||
