5 Flights Up

[Machine Translation] Why not renovate your life, too? Brooklyn, New York. The only drawback of our familiar home with a studio with a great view and a rooftop vegetable garden is... The much talked-about film that became a blockbuster hit in Japan! Morgan Freeman, one of Hollywood's most famous actors, and Diane Keaton, one of America's most famous actresses, unexpectedly co-star for the first time in this film, playing an "exquisite couple". They play a couple who have been together for many years despite their many twists and turns, and their lighthearted performance adds depth to the story. Cynthia Nixon, well-known for her role as Miranda in "Sex and the City," co-stars in the film.

One day, Ruth decides to sell the "room with a view" for the sake of her beloved husband and dog. Despite Alex's confusion, her niece, a talented real estate agent, quickly decides to sell it for a hundred million dollars, and an open house is arranged....
