Short summary

Kawamoto works and lives in a dilapidated pool hall which also serves as a rehearsal space for him and his friend Chikako. They seem contented to while away their hours doing nothing much at all. Meanwhile, an old pool shark meets some people from his past that he is none too happy to see again. How will this affect their private haven?

    A very sweet and simple film. The director really takes his time with shots, at times it reminded me of Maborosi because I felt a certain distance from the characters. The film isn't necessarily inside the characters heads but is more content to watch them from a respectful distance. Some might find it a little slow and at times my mind did wander but I appreciated it's simplicity.
