Set in the early days of the 2020 COVID lockdown, this bright comedy follows Shinsaku (Masaki Suda), a fishing enthusiast and office worker from Tokyo who discovers his dream property: a spacious four-bedroom apartment in the coastal town of Minamisanriku, Miyagi Prefecture, with an unbelievably low rent of 60,000 yen per month. Seizing the opportunity to work remotely, Shinsaku relocates, spending his free time fishing by the sea. His arrival causes a stir among the locals, who view city folk with suspicion; but with his infectiously optimistic nature, Shinsaku gradually earns their trust. As he settles into his new life, an unexpected journey of self-discovery and community unfolds, filled with humor, heart, and personal growth.
“A deliciously uplifting story with humor and heart . . . a smashing success.” —Japan Times
