Instant Swamp

Synopsis

Quirky Japanese comedy drama. Kumiko Aso stars as Haname, a young woman who has run out of luck: the magazine she works for is about to fold, and her on-off boyfriend has just moved abroad. Unemployed and aimless, Haname finds herself at a crossroads with no idea which direction to take. Then, following the hospitalisation of her mother, she makes the life-changing discovery that her real father is not who she thought he was, but is actually a hippie drifter nicknamed Light Bulb (Morio Kazama). A series of bizarre events now leaves Haname with a comatose mother, an eccentric stranger for a dad - and a whole new outlook on life.
