Synopsis
Does two minutes count as time travel? In this ingenious film, of course it does!
Kato lives above the café he owns.One day, the computer in his room begins speaking to him directly. It is Kato himself, but a Kato that is two minutes ahead. The situation escalates quickly when his friends join in and capitalise on this wormhole in time.
Filmmaker YAMAGUCHI Junta’s debut film is a delightful exercise in recursive storytelling, amazingly filmed in a single take!
