Welome, Back, Man 1999

Directed by Takashi Kawamoto

A man fills plastic bottles with messages for a loved one who has suddenly disappeared and pours them into a river. A girl cannot accept the death of her lover. An angel is right next to these people who are struggling to survive, almost crushed by a love that has nowhere to go. A plastic bottle delivery man. A guide to the passage between this world and the next. A rebirth witness. And a folk duo called the Vaudeville Duo. They deliver their miracles as unobtrusively, as small and shiny as a grain of light in the midwinter wind. What miracles are performed by angels in human form, riding around on bicycles, holding fishing rods or endlessly shirking?
