Koko ni iru koto (Japan Version) DVD Region 2

Aiba Shino (Hitomi Manaka) is an upwardly mobile career girl whose life takes an unexpected turn in Koko ni iru koto, a subtly touching comedy-drama about the art of "being there." Employed in the marketing division of a Tokyo sales company, Aiba gets unceremoniously transferred to the less prestigious Osaka office after her affair with an elite manager is discovered by the wife. But the transfer is more than just a location change. Aiba is demoted from creative marketing to straight sales, and she decides that the new office is decidedly unsophisticated and ill-fitting for a girl like her. Enter Maeno Etsuro (Sakai Masato), a quirky, off-kilter transferee who entreats Aiba to stay with the company and give it a go. Maeno begins to take Aiba on his wacky trips through the back alleys of Osaka, where he shares his unique and oddball hobbies with the initially uninterested Aiba. And along the way, Aiba learns something precious, though it may not be what she expected to learn! Directed by Masahiko Nagasaw (Thirteen Steps), Koko ni iru koto is a film about finding joy, satisfaction, and even beauty in the unlikely, unusual, and everyday.
