Senryokugai Tsuukoku

[Machine Translation] The festival is just beginning! An ensemble drama of men and women in their 50s who are trying out for life! What would happen if you suddenly received a "notice of withdrawal" from the company like a professional baseball player? Based on the novel by Yoshinaga Fujita, winner of the 125th Naoki Prize in 2001 for "The Domain of Love". He is well known for his portrayal of people with an urban sensibility, and in this work, he skillfully depicts the relationship between a man and a woman in their 50s, their work, and their marital bond in a realistic manner. Although they still have passion and high ability, people in their 50s have to face their long life ahead of them, fearing that they will lose the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities. As the baby-boom generation enters the era of mass retirement, the film is sure to resonate with many people as it depicts adults who were once "written off" by their workplaces, families, and even life itself, but who are now trying to look on the bright side and move forward with their lives. Cast: Masatoshi Nakamura, Kyoko Mano, Junji Takada, Setsuko Karasuma, Toshiyuki Kitami, Tetsu Watanabe, Akira Saito, Yoshimi Ashikawa, Kazuyuki Matsuzawa, Takanobu Hozumi, Goro Ibuki, Jun Fubuki.
