A young woman falling in love with her best friend’s father: that sounds like a well-known plot. However, Kenji YAMAUCHI presents this story with a distanced and ironic twist. When Maya tells Taeko: “I like your Dad”, she lays the foundation for a dramatic course of events. And didn’t Dad actually have other plans than beginning an affair with a twenty-year-old?
