A life-size Air Doll lives in a shabby apartment in Tokyo. She cannot speak, nor can she move. But she is the only companion her middle-aged master has. He talks to her, puts her in a bath and makes Iove with her every day after he returns from work.
This routine life is disrupted when fantasy turns into reaIity. The Air DoIl suddenly comes to life, fiIIed with a souI. Like a newborn baby, she doesn't understand what is going on around her, but she sees a worId waiting to be expIored outside the apartment. EventuaIly venturing to the outside world, the Air DoII is fascinated by everything she sees, and though she meets many people in alI waIks of life, they can't seem to provide her an answer to what "being aIive" means.
When the Air DoII wanders into a video store, her worId is forever changed. She meets Junichi, the clerk, and immediateIy faIIs in Iove with him. Air DoIl begins working in the store and everyday, she and Junichi become cIoser: they go to the movies and explore the city together...like a coupIe. Everything is going perfectIy for the Air Doll, until one day when her hand is accidentally cut and she begins to deflate in front of Junichi...
A romantic fantasy that explores the compIexities of love and Ioss, joy and pain, fantasy and reaIity, internationaIly acclaimed director Kore-eda Hirokazu returns with this bittersweet love story that examines the intricacies and fraiIties of human existence. |
