Based on a collection of short stories by Haruki Murakami, this animated feature film follows the lives of multiple characters as they navigate post-tsunami existence and the existential repercussions of urban life, including an unambitious bank employee, his frustrated wife, a delusional accountant, a lost cat and a giant talkative frog.
