Original subtitles

Delicious. The flavor really comes out.

Tastes a little diluted today.

Everything you eat is just over-seasoned.

Oh, is that so?

Food is better with family. This is happiness.

Yeah really.

That's a little much.

What about you? Are you happy?

You're happy, right?

- Good to hear. - Good, I'm glad.

Be careful with your finger.

Here, like that. You're so good at this.

Mom... Mom...

Mom...

What? You can use the bathroom yourself, can't you?

BEST WISHES TO ALL

A fever?

Is he okay?

But I already got my train ticket.

By myself?

I don't really want to.

What?

Okay... yeah. Bye.

- Do you want help carrying that? - Thank you.

Here.

Oh my, are you okay?

Sorry, let's keep going.

Oh my... It was so clean and white before.

It's okay, the scratch gives it character.

I'm sorry that young people are sacrificed for old folks like me.

What?

If only everyone was more like you. Thank you.

Thank you for traveling with us.

We will soon be arriving at the next destination.

The exit will be on the right-hand side.

- Hello. - Hello!

Look how big you've gotten.

Come in, it's open!

It's open.

- Hi. - Long time no see.

- Yeah. - How you've grown!

- You're here! - Grandpa.

Come in, come in.

- Stop, it's heavy. - So it is.

Thanks.

You've grown so big!

It all feels nostalgic. Nothing's changed.

Even the smell brings me back.

Smell? A bad smell?

- Not at all! Just nostalgic. - Ah, I see.

- Here you go. - Thanks.

So you're a nurse now?

It's a very noble field of work.

Not yet. I have to pass the national exam in February.

I see. Soon you'll catch a doctor too, huh?

Um...

It's too soon for that, dear.

How's life in Tokyo? Fun?

Yeah, it's fun.

Good, I'm glad.

Are you...

happy now?

Yes, I'm... happy?

Good. Good, good.

Wait! Come back here!

Grandma, where's the miso?

We make our own miso.

- Homemade? - It's right here.

Wow. Here, let me get it.

It's heavy...

Oh, wow. That smells good.

Doesn't it? I'll show you how I make it later.

Looks good.

So...

What's the upstairs backroom for?

- Someone lives up there. - Huh?

I'm kidding. We use it as storage for junk we don't need.

Oh, I see...

Why?

It's nothing.

The flavor is really coming out today.

It's because I had help.

Is it too strong?

No, it's delicious.

Good.

Isn't this pork good too? Our neighbor gave it to us.

Really?

Try it.

- Really good. - Isn't it?

Huh?

What are you...?

You guys...

The pigs are saying how happy they are to be eaten.

It's what they were born to do.

I don't think that's true...

They're stuffed in small cages, fattened, and stuck inside all day.

They just eat until they're slaughtered. That's why we're eating it now.

You're so naive.

We need to be grateful for them, then.

Grandpa, the bath's open.

Grandpa?

Grandpa? Are you okay?

Oh, you're out. How was the bath?

Um... yeah.

- Good night. - Good night.

Good night...

They're acting a little weird...

Maybe it's dementia?

Yeah...

When are you coming? Can you come quickly... huh?

No, they haven't told me anything.

Just small talk.

Just get here as fast as you can. Okay, bye.

Are you okay? Did you fall?

Look, he actually fell!

Look at what a loser he is.

What a weirdo! How lame.

It's okay... sorry.

What's wrong? You okay?

It's been a while.

It has.

Sorry...

Don't apologize. You didn't do anything wrong.

Right... sorry...

It's no use.

I'll take you to school.

Get on.

Sorry...

Your family too?

Not the front seat?

It's okay.

- Are you sure? - Yes, it's fine.

So you're back?

Just for a few days since I finished training.

Training?

Oh, I'm in nursing school right now.

In Tokyo?

Yeah.

So I ended up taking on the family farm.

Oh, really?

Ever since my pops collapsed.

What? Is he okay?

I think he's okay.

I see.

Your bike.

I'll take it home for you.

You have your license?

Yeah, but I haven't driven since getting it.

That's terrifying.

Where would you like to go, sir?

Please let me out immediately.

Oh, come on.

I'm terrified.

- Should we switch now? - Not yet.

- Not yet? - After this next turn.

What do you make?

Delicious rice.

Delicious rice?

Is it hard?

Hm, sometimes?

We just finished harvesting, so it's slow now.

Why nursing?

Well...

Well, my mom is a nurse.

And...

I just want to save people.

You should save me then.

What?

Kidding. Let's go.

Okay...

I'll be here for a few days. We should hang out.

Yeah. Well...

If I'm free.

Okay.

I'm home.

Bonsai?

You were with him?

Oh. Yeah, I just ran into him.

Don't see him again.

What? Why not?

Just don't.

Grandma?

Huh?

Sit down, sweetie.

Okay.

Listen to us. We want you to know how much we love you.

Okay... thank you.

You don't get it. We really, really love you.

Thank you.

You're the apple of our eye.

What?

Um, what are you doing?

Wait, please stop that.

Grandma?

Grandma...?

Grandma! Grandma!

Grandma!

Would you like any seconds?

Oh. I'm good, thank you.

Your father's coming this afternoon.

Oh, okay.

Okay then.

I'll lift up here. Okay!

Ready, pull!

Ready, pull! Ready, pull!

Pull!

Ready, pull!

Ready, pull!

Over here. You didn't tie him up tight enough.

I thought I had. I wonder how he got loose...

Get his legs too.

I got him over here.

What are you doing?

Tell me what you're doing!

Watch this closely.

What is this?

Who is that?

Our happiness is all because of him.

What...?

Shut up!

Be quiet!

- Shut up! - Come here and help us!

Maybe we should've told her sooner.

It's fine. She'll understand in the end.

Are you okay? Is something wrong?

No, it's...

You see...

Long time no see! Look how beautiful you've gotten.

Good to see you again.

Want to come over and eat some persimmons?

Hey, Pops!

Come on, it's near here.

Hop on! Now!

Be careful.

Oh, sorry.

Can you hold this? And this too.

There we go.

You can come in.

Thanks.

In Tokyo, right? The big city!

That's right.

Have you found anybody yet?

What about him over there?

He seems cold but he's a good guy. Nice, too.

Hey, be quiet.

There it is.

Here.

Thanks.

It's really good. Try it.

Thank you.

Let me show you something neat.

Look at this.

- No need for that. - Oh, wow.

There's another here.

- Look. - I said, stop.

You know, you can move to Tokyo or another big city.

And do what you want to do there.

You don't gotta be stuck making rice here.

You're great at painting.

We don't gotta talk about that now.

If not now, then when?

The world couldn't go on if everyone chased their dreams.

That's true...

However...

I think it's possible for everyone to be happy.

Had enough?

Yeah.

Enough for me.

I'll clean up.

Hey.

Have you talked to anyone?

So...

No matter what happens...

I want you to believe in me.

Okay...

I will.

Wait here.

What?

Hey.

You okay?

Here.

You good? Calmed down?

I'm fine.

Do you need the hospital?

I'm fine. It's just a little longer.

Stop it...

Oh? Is she back?

All clear?

Scissors.

Quiet...

Please, be quiet...

Kill... me...

It's okay, we're going to save you.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

You, stop meddling in other people's business.

No... this is wrong!

We haven't told her yet.

What?

Let's go.

No, come back here.

Come here.

Come here.

What's going on?

Not now...

How many times have I said, don't get too close to the screen.

Can't we say he still has a fever and leave earlier?

But I already told them we'd stay the night.

They even bought new pajamas for us.

Really?

They still treat me like a kid.

You'll always be a kid to your parents.

- That's true, but... - It is.

How annoying.

Hm?

Huh?

What?!

Hey!

Oh, god!

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

Man, I did it now...

No!

Call an ambulance...

- Is it yours? - Yeah.

He's hopeless. Don't worry.

Please be okay! Please!

Sorry 'bout that.

Mother, it's been so long.

- Is the fever down? - Not completely, but he's fine.

Mom...

You must be scared.

Huh?

They didn't tell you?

Sorry for the trouble.

Alright, be seeing you.

Huh, wait...

Come back here!

Push!

What are you doing? Stop!

- Push! - Stop!

Watch closely!

Just watch, okay?

Hey! What are you doing?

Someone stop him! Please!

Happiness is limited on Earth.

People have been taking happiness from each other for ages.

What?

What are you...?

And you, mind your own business.

Keep your beliefs to yourself.

No... this is definitely wrong!

Will that idealism help you get through life?

Be realistic. Your family is struggling too.

I'm sorry.

This is crazy!

Come on, Mom!

Dad! This is absolutely nuts!

Calm down for a second, huh?

This is crazy.

Please! Open your eyes!

You need to open your eyes.

We have to figure out how to fix this.

Are you hungry? Let's eat.

I'm starving. Time to chow down.

Thank you for the food.

The fried chicken looks great.

- I remember it's your favorite. - So how's school?

It's fun.

Make any friends?

- Yes, a lot. - That's wonderful.

What do you play?

Dodgeball.

Oh, dodgeball.

- You're good at it, right? - Wow.

Don't the balls hurt you?

- They don't hit him. - Oh, I see.

He probably runs from the balls.

He catches them well.

That's perfectly fine. You must be fast.

He's pretty athletic...

Shut up! You're all twisted!

Someone is dead!

You saw that thing as a person?

What...?

Oh, wow. It's begun.

We need to find the next one soon.

Are you okay, Grandpa?

It's okay, he's just a little under the weather.

- Your sister will fix it. - That's right.

This is your fault, so you find the next one.

First is the bleeding, then convulsions. Finally, laughter.

Find the next one by tomorrow.

That's not my problem.

No use in running. It's the same everywhere else.

This is how you and I grew up.

Understand?

It's time to face reality.

Come on, let's go.

Your backpack's open. Come here.

C'mon, c'mon. Have a good day!

Thanks. See you later.

- That's so scary! - Was it big?

It had a big tail. Have you seen one?

No, no. I haven't...

Hey, what's up?

Oh, long time no see.

I heard. Must be tough.

Yeah.

Who is that?

Former classmate.

What now?

What should I do?

Do you want help?

What...?

Oh... you didn't know?

I see...

Stop that...

Do you still believe in Santa Claus too?

I said, stop!

Well, good luck with that.

I can't believe it.

- What a child. - Is she really serious?

Hello.

How awful...

We're all old, so don't choose us.

Huh...?

You're cute. I bet you could catch a man in town.

People like you just stir up trouble.

Trouble?

I bet you believe the world is good, right?

You know nothing about the world.

Oh, yeah. This happened before with someone else.

I recall...

it was your father's older sister.

Oh, did you not know?

Who is this?

Tell me! Who is this?

My older sister. So, your aunt.

What happened?

When she was your age, she said the same things you did and left.

Where is she now?

She's probably dead by now.

Some say she's in the mountains.

Listen, I don't want you to end up like her...

Hey!

Excuse me, have you seen this woman?

I haven't...

I see. Thank you.

Excuse me.

Have you seen this woman in the photo?

This photo's no good.

- Do you know this family? - I said, I don't.

- But they live just over... - I said, I don't!

Sorry.

I think it was back that way.

Back that way?

Thank you very much.

Hello...

Oh, hello.

Must've been hard coming all this way.

Thank you.

Now that I look at you, you have the same eyes.

Um...

My grandpa and grandma...

It's okay, you don't have to worry. There's no need for sacrifices.

R...Really?

Really. Everything is an illusion.

Huh...?

Let me ask you, do you think the children in Africa are unhappy?

They look like they would be unhappy...

That's the problem. Understand?

How do you think they feel?

If our happiness is dependent on how others view us,

how are we ever going to be truly happy?

Understand?

In 20 years, Africa's time will be upon us. Can you believe it?

Then they will be much richer and happier than us.

The world is made out of zeros and ones anyway.

Virtual reality.

When we die, the staff will come take off our VR goggles for us

and take us to where we should go.

In the higher world, I could be a man,

or maybe I'm still a teenager.

To go to the higher world is my wish.

When I look around, the world is becoming more and more twisted.

I'm sorry, I'm talking too much.

Do you still have time?

It didn't break.

That's okay.

You're good at pulling the axe.

- One more. - Put your back into it.

- Straight down. - Straight.

You can do it.

- Almost! - You're right.

Okay.

Try this one.

- Go stronger. - Okay.

I believe you can do it.

Okay, and...

You and me...

We could start over...

Sorry...

Good morning!

Good morning!

I'm still sleepy.

- Did you stay up late? - I slept, but I'm still sleepy.

Hurry up.

Just a little more.

We're eating breakfast.

Let's all eat.

The food will get cold.

He is always like this.

All he does is play that game.

Oh, welcome home.

Come on, come eat.

Just a little more.

Always gaming.

Does this taste diluted?

I diluted it since we can't get that anymore.

How sad is that?

So sad.

Huh? I see red.

Red, red, red...

What are you fussing about?

I see red, red, red!

- Red, red, red... - What are you going on about?

Red, red, red...

It's started.

It's because of the game.

Red, red, red...

- Time's up. - What's the plan...

Shut up!

Red, red, red...

You've grown so big, Mother.

Red, red, red...

How exciting.

Almost there.

Red, red, red...

I got sweet potato.

- Who eats those? - These are so good.

Don't show them yet.

- Shrimp chips. - Donuts.

Sweet potato.

These have to be good.

- I bet they are. - I'll have some.

No, no, no.

What the?!

- Ouch... - Does it hurt?

It's all over your face now.

How bad, right?

- This is the best one... - Wait.

- What's with her? - Creepy.

- Her eye. - It's bloodshot.

- That's so creepy. - Weirdo.

- Creep. - Freak.

Hello.

Hold this.

Are you okay?

Yeah...

You've changed.

You're friends now?

Yeah.

It felt stupid to fight it.

So I just accepted it.

The adults are doing the same thing anyway.

Gotta live smarter, you know?

I see.

Are you happy?

Yes.

Compared to before, definitely.

I gotta go to school.

You know, I don't mind doing it.

What...?

Here you go.

Don't hold back.

Please, have some.

- It's delicious. - It's hard to get.

Go ahead.

With this tea.

- Do you like it? - Have some more.

Perfect timing, come.

My daughter.

Come on.

Leave.

Hey now.

- Don't mind her. - Leave.

- I said, leave. - Don't be like that.

Leave right now.

- I said, leave. Go home! - Stop it!

Get away from here! Leave!

Go home right now!

No, please. Wait!

Stop it right now!

Hey!

Red... red! Reset!

There's no more time left.

Reset! I see red!

This is all an illusion! She said so!

An illusion? We're going to die because of you!

What should I do then?!

Quiet down!

Children just need to act the part of children.

You've known from the start.

You just couldn't accept it.

So you pretended not to see it.

You're as selfish as the rest of us.

No...

Shut up!

What are you doing now?

- What are you...? - Hey.

- Wait! - Don't do that!

Stop! Stop it.

- No... - Please.

I can't do it...

I just can't.

You can't?

- She can't! - She said she can't!

Can't?

Can't?!

Can't!

Huh?

It was hopeless.

I couldn't...

change any of this.

We've never had one in our family.

That's why we can never be happy.

That's not true.

There must be a way we can be happy.

There's no way.

That's not true! Please don't say that!

You still have time... Leave...

No.

Leave.

No way.

- Leave. - I won't!

Leave now!

What?

Mother!

Are you okay? Watch your step.

Okay now.

Come on.

Hey.

Are you okay?

Can you hear me? Hey.

No more...

I hate this world...

Stop...

Stop it.

No.

Please...

Ready! And...

Push! Push!

Stronger! Come on!

Please... stop...

Don't...

Please...

Stop...

Push! Push!

Push! Push!

Please don't.

That's it! Keep going.

There we go.

Great job! There we go!

Sorry I'm late.

- Yes, you are. - I won't do it again.

- How many times? - Forgive me.

If you pay.

- Okay. - Let's go.

- Hand? - Okay.

Did you wait?

Is this okay? Is it too bright?

I think it's good.

Let's go.

- What about the operation next week? - Postponed.

You can relax, finally.

Just for a bit.

Want to take a vacation?

A vacation, huh?

It's been a while.

- Where should we go? - Let's see...

- Do you need help? - Thank you.

You okay?

Yeah.

Are you feeling nervous?

A little.

Okay.

Why do you look so happy?

Because...

I am happy.
