Best-selling novelist Kosaku Igami has made a career out of using his family as fodder for his novels, much to their dismay. When his mother, the spirited family matriarch, is diagnosed with dementia, Igami must come to terms with the toll his own behavior has taken on his increasingly distant family and resolve his own long-simmering resentments. Evocative of classic Ozu, this gorgeously wrought epic family portrait explores the tenderness and trappings of familial bonds.

Eighteen months have gone by and Kudo and Ichikawa are still lost in a parallel universe. When they vanished, a giant appeared in the sky above Shinjuku.

From the team's previous work, director Kudo is now convinced of the existence of parallel universes. But now, a new video posted convinces the group to learn the truth about a mysterious woman with a swollen face.
