Synopsis：

The film is based on Ukiyodoko, a rakugo storytelling piece. Hanzo, the hero, brags to his friends to make a party go. Human nature remains unchanged once and now, as the time goes. We love meaningless conversations among boon companions. Different communication methods are visually tangled in the different times, Edo and today. The theme is an “interchange between the transient and the immutable.”
