🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative around an absurd yet universally relatable obsession with victory. It relies on gentle, character-driven comedy to explore how a childhood dream can morph into a lifelong, all-consuming pursuit, blurring the line between dedication and mania.

What lingers after the laughter is a surprisingly poignant reflection on the milestones we chase and the simple moments we miss in the race. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Teruyoshi Uchimura
