Shiina, un estudiante de primer año de la universidad, conoce a su nuevo vecino, el alto y estrafalario Kawasaki, mientras se muda a su nuevo apartamento en Sendai. No parecen tener nada en común, pero inmediatamente se unen por su amor mutuo a Bob Dylan. Pronto, y de forma bastante inesperada, Kawasaki invita a Shiina a una extraña misión para robar un diccionario Kojien para su vecino, un estudiante de intercambio del Reino de Bután. Como un aparte, le advierte a Shiina que se aleje de la dueña de la tienda de mascotas, Reiko, a toda costa. Al día siguiente Kawasaki confiesa que solía salir con una ex-trabajadora de una tienda de mascotas llamada Kotomi, pero ella lo dejó por el mismo tipo butanés por el que están robando el diccionario. Nada de esto tiene sentido para Shiina, pero en este momento, está demasiado absorto en la extraña vida de su nuevo amigo como para no ver esta aventura hasta el final. Edit Translation

Loaded with absurdities and confusions, this film makes us wonder how much we really know about someone we believe is our friend. Random encounters immerse our protagonist in a sad and fascinating story. Quoting a character: "you have been dragged into a story that is not yours", and that intrusion is what makes the movie so captivating.

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.
