The one-hundred-year-old Fujiya inn stands in the quiet region of Kyoto. Mikoto is standing in front of the Kibune river at the back of the building when she is called back to work. But two minutes later, she finds herself back at the river again. The whole inn seems to be stuck in a time loop!

The film cleverly blends sci-fi premise with situational comedy, using the confined space of a traditional inn to explore human quirks under extraordinary circumstances. The time loop serves as a gentle magnifying glass on routine and social dynamics.
What lingers after the credits is a sense of warm, intelligent humor and a playful look at the mundane turned extraordinary. It’s a charming and thoughtful escape. — MovieFinder Editorial
