We Make Antiques! Kyoto Rendezvous

The film is a drama with a documentary feel about a female manzai couple called Tonight. Manzai is Japanese stand-up comedy that is popular around its heartland, Osaka, so the audience is assailed with volleys of gags in that unique dialect. One of the pair plays the straight man and the other the fool.

Two People Talking

Sawa, a home helper for a middle class family with an elderly infirm grandfather, is forced to stretch her morals to keep her job. As a result, she finds herself broke and out on the street. She survives her first night by striking up an ambiguous friendship with a kindly old man, gaining access to a portion of the immense wealth held by Japan's aging population.
