Round Table

Third grade elementary school student Uzuhara Kotoko (Ashida Aina ) is a girl with a somewhat weird temper. She likes to collect all kinds of cool words. In her daily life, she likes to imitate the unique people around her, such as the neighbor kid Xiaopo (played by Hideu Ito) who stutters, her classmate Emi Koda (played by Mizuki Kusano) who has a stye, and the Korean-Japanese Xiaopu (played by Shota Furuya) who has an irregular heartbeat. Of course she has no intention of hurting others, but blind imitation will inevitably arouse others' resentment. The Uzumaki family, a family of eight, often sits around a red round table for dinner. Xiaoqin doesn't like the seemingly cheerful dinners, and is indifferent to the news that her mother is about to give birth to a baby. She lives in her own little world, feeling the warm atmosphere permeating the city of Osaka with her quirky little mind... This film is adapted from Nishikanako's novel.
