I want to live with the things I love and cherish My family and I live in Ayase and I work at a bookstore in Ikebukuro Sometimes I open a store at a flea market with a friend We sell tableware which she likes and accessories made from buttons which I make and they are quite popular With the money we saved there my friend went on a longawaited trip abroad My goal is to start living alone Today is my day off so I go out to check out an apartment I stopped by a park and saw cats having a meeting When I saw the old building I suddenly wanted to see my grandmother so I took the train The entire film is written in monologue and with a handheld 8mm camera and features all the things I like buttons the dawn from my room cats the ocean and my grandmother There is no context no meaning no great sense of beauty but they play a comfortable rhythm and a beautiful melody This is a fictional essay whose natural gentleness reminds us of nonfiction
