(2009, NR, 95 min., Japanese with English subtitles)
Mikio Kobayashi lives quietly with his wife, daughter, and divorced sister in downtown Tokyo, where xenophobic neighbors insist they attend community watch meetings, and the only recent excitement is itheh disappearance of a pet parrot. One day, Kagawa appears, cliaming to be the son of a financier who once helped Kobayashi's company. Kagawa soon ingratiates himself as a live-in employee and proceeds to comically turn the Kobayashi's monotonous life upside down with his odd behavior, unexpected visitors, and bizarre schemes.
Location: Baxter Room - Auditorium (main floor)
