Mondays: See You “This” Week!
Nippon Cinema ª
It’s groundhog week! Akemi and her office colleagues go through the same work week over and over again. The time loop might be caused by their boss’s procrastination and his unfinished manga. Ryo TAKEBAYASHI’s insane comedy tells a story about ambitions, false dreams and real teamwork, and takes us on a ride through the Japanese working world.
