This is not a story about a grandmother like this.
Actually, this story is based on a real person (lol).
There is an older lady who is a good friend of mine, and the more I listened to her story, the more I was intrigued by her way of life.
"I am unattractive and prefer to be alone than with others. That's why I spend all my time watching TV," she says. Thanks to her love of talk shows, the way she speaks, the way she pauses... she's almost as good as a comedian. But she insists that she can't imagine being in front of an audience.
When I told her I wanted to make a video of it, she said, “No one would ever watch that! (lol) She really doesn't think she has any appeal.
I thought about what I could do to repay her, and I decided that the best thing I could do was to pass on her life story to the next generation. I decided that the best way I can give back is to pass on her life story.
So this time, I have recreated the real lady as much as possible, or rather, as perfectly as possible. What Yukiko-san says in the film is almost exactly what she herself said (lol). I hope you will enjoy this work from that perspective as well.
