Nippon no obaachan

Two obaachans become fast friends listening to music in front of a record store They both boast about their loving sons but in reality one had just escaped a retirement home and the other was looking for an escape from her son and daughterinlaw With nowhere to go the two wander around befriending a cosmetics salesman and a kind waitress who give them beer This biting social satire starring two memorable grandmothers scripted by Yôko Mizuki picked up on Japans aging population problem far ahead of its time
