Brighteststar's Weekend Movie recommendation College freshman Shiina moves into his new apartment in Sendai, where he meets his eccentric neighbor Kawasaki. Despite their differences, they bond over a shared love of Bob Dylan. Soon, Kawasaki enlists Shiina in a mission to steal a Kojien dictionary for a Bhutanese exchange student. Kawasaki also warns him to avoid the local pet shop owner, Reiko. The next day, Kawasaki reveals he was dumped by a former pet shop worker named Kotomi, who left him for the same Bhutanese student. Confused but intrigued, Shiina continues to follow Kawasaki on this odd adventure.

Reviews
Story:
Full of Bob Dylan music and a deep love for animals, the story shows innocent and noble characters like Shiina and mysterious and extravagant ones like Kawasaki. While dealing with friendship, values, disease, and revenge.
Acting:
Gaku Hamada perfectly portrays that person who only tries to fit in, he is the impressionable provincial. Eita, on the other hand, represents very well the long range of expressions that his character demands.
Overall:
How valuable are the bonds we create? Who is lying? Who says the truth?
Coupled with a sharp criticism of racism by many Japanese towards foreigners living in Japan, this is a valuable and worthy film. Because ultimately, Shiina also feels like a stranger, even though in his own country.
