This is the question posited by director Nakamura Yutaro at the start of his latest film a series of vignettes that bleed into each other Memories dreams Whatever they are they belong to highschooler Hikari who along with a friend named Yujiro get involved with an emotionally unstable man named Takaya Flashforward a decade or so and they are all 20somethings bumbling around on New Years Eve night Hikari has picked up an admirer Kotaro while Takaya is shacked up with a young woman named Anzu A tumultuous night together leads to a quarrel and a truly bizarre New Years Day Its not a straightforward experience as we surf through these experiences and question whether they are imagined but the feeling of airy freedom and endless possibilities at the end is pleasant
