Synopsis

An inept and lazy small-time criminal is sent off by his bullying wife to take a neighbour's grandson to see his long-lost mother - and their lack of funds turns this into a slow and difficult journey hitchhiking through Japan. There's nothing cute or slushy about this low-key road movie, which relies on deadpan humour and the variety of strange characters the pair meet along the way - and which shows a very different Japan than the super high-tech one we usually imagine.

What our educators say

"We are currently screening The Wizard of Oz, profound film that it is, and the last film Wall-E. It's been rewarding observing the KS1 6 year olds run the gamut of emotions from wonder to sadness to joy. "
