If life hits you hard, remember it can always hit you harder. Manga artist Sukezo is beset by misfortune. However, a glimmer of hope emerges when he discovers the lucrative potential of rocks. As he navigates the tumultuous path toward a stable life, family dynamics become increasingly strained, exacerbated by Sukezo's growing attraction to the rock master's wife. One day, Sukezo's son finds a unique rock – could this be the turning point in their lives? Adapted with Yoshiharu Tsuge's involvement, actor Naoto Takenaka's directorial debut examines ordinary lives under capitalism through sharp humour. Presented on 35mm print.
