Synopsis

Tokyo, a few days after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Kyoko suddenly leaves her husband after having watched the earthquake news for five days in a row. Her husband Komura, at a loss, takes a week off and undertakes a journey up north to deliver a mysterious box to two young women. His colleague,
Katagiri, a lonely, unattractive debt collector, comes home one evening to find a frog, 2 meters tall, standing upright asking for his help to save Tokyo from another earthquake.
