Sinopisi / Synopsis

MONDAYS: SEE YOU THIS WEEK!

Radeći preko noći sa kolegama, povredu glave u saobraćajnoj nesreći, stalnu pospanost na poslu i ptica koja se zalupi u prozor kancelarije… pored krajnjeg roka na svom reklamnom poslu, Yoshikawa ima najgoru sedmicu ikada.
Kao da njena glavobolja nije bila dovoljno jaka, njeni kolege Endo i Murata polude i tvrde da je cijela kancelarija zaglavljena u vremenskoj petlji… ali nakon nekoliko rundi proživljavanja istog svakodnevnog ponedjeljka, Yoshikawa ubrzo shvata da su govorili istinu. Sada saradnici moraju raditi zajedno, prosvijetliti svoje nesvjesne kolege i pronaći način da završe ovaj beskrajni ponedjeljak!
Ponedjeljak: Vidimo se “ove” sedmice! je drugi film reditelja Takebayashi Ryoa, koji je postigao priznanje svojim tinejdžerskim filmom Bookmark 14 (2021). Sa univerzalno povezanim okruženjem korporativne kulture i temama borbe u karijeri, ova komedija u stilu Groundhog Daya je urnebesna, ali dirljiva inspiracija nakon dugog dana.
Working overnight with colleagues, a head injury from a traffic accident, constant sleepiness on the job a nd a bird slamming itself into the office window… on top of a pressing deadline at her advertising job, Yoshikawa is having the worst week ever.
As if her headache wasn’ t bad enough, her coworkers Endo and Murata are going mad and claim the entire office is stuck in a time loop… but after a few rounds of reliving the same mundane Monday, Yoshikawa soon realises they’re telling the truth. Now the teammates must work together, enlighten their oblivious colleagues and find
a way to end this endless Monday!
Mondays: See you “this” week! is the second film by director Takebayashi Ryo, who shot to recognition with his teen film Bookmark 14 (2021). With a universally relatable corporate culture setting and themes of career struggles, this Groundhog Day-esque comedy is a hilarious yet heartwarming pick-me-up after a long day.

Prelijepa dama Shino zamolila je malog trgovca antikvitetima Norija u Kjotu da pronađe ukradenu historijsku vrijednu šolju čaja majstora Oribea iz 16. vijeka koju je prenio njen pokojni otac. Norio i grnčar Sasuke daju joj imitaciju autentičnog izgleda koju je Sasuke napravio besplatno kao zamjenu. Ali ubrzo nakon toga, saznaju da je Shino prevarant; Shino prepoznaje njihove vještine i predlaže dogovor kako bi zaradio veliki novac u zavjeri otkrivanjem podzemnog zločina grupe vicedilera koja prodaje mnogo lažnjaka na međunarodnom planu. Udružujući se sa drugim talentovanim prijateljima, Norio i Sasuke odlučuju da pokrenu prevaru i da se osvete zlikovcima koji su uprljali njihovu reputaciju u prošlosti.
A dowdy antique dealer Norio in Kyoto is asked by a beautiful lady Shino to find a swindled historical valuable tea-cup by Master Oribe from 16th century which was passed on by her late father.

But shortly thereafter, they find out that Shino is a fraud; Shino recognizes their skills and proposes a deal to earn big money in conspiracy by unveiling an underground crime of vice dealers’ group selling off lots of fakes internationally. Teaming up with other talented buddies, Norio and Sasuke determine to drive the con-game and to get revenge on the villains who stained on their reputation in the past.

 

THE ZEN DIARY

Tsutomu živi sam u planinama, piše eseje, kuha hranu od povrća koje uzgaja i gljiva koje bere u brdima. Njegova rutina je sretno poremećena kada Machiko, njegova urednica i simpatija, povremeno dolazi u posjetu. Ona voli da jede, a on voli da kuha za nju. Tsutomu izgleda zadovoljan svojim svakodnevnim životom. S druge strane, on još nije pustio pepeo svoje žene iako je umrla prije 13 godina…
◆ O zenu
To je škola budizma. Također se odnosi na njegova učenja i filozofiju.
Prosvjetljenje se može postići meditacijom i oslobađanjem uma nebitnih misli. Njegovi praktičari se ohrabruju da razmišljaju o svojim životima i praktikuju zahvalnost za sve s čime se susreću.
◆ O zen hrani
Budino učenje zabranjuje ubijanje životinja pa su zen monasi razvili kuhinju zasnovanu na povrću i žitaricama.
Ne radi se samo o vegetarijanskoj hrani za zen monahe, to je čitav proces od pripreme, kuhanja, jedenja do čišćenja suđa. Ovo je dio njihove obuke i kroz to monasi mogu razumjeti sebe.
Tsutomu lives alone in the mountains, writing essays, cooking food with vegetables he grows and mushrooms he picks in the hills. His routine is happily disturbed when Machiko, his editor/love interest, occasionally visits. She loves to eat and he loves to cook for her. Tsutomu seems content with his daily life. On the other hand, he still hasn’t let go of his wife’s ashes although she died 13 years ago…
◆ About Zen
It is a school of Buddhism. It also refers to its teachings and philosophy.
Enlightenment can be attained through meditation and ridding the mind of irrelevant thoughts. Its practitioners are encouraged to reflect on their lives and practice gratitude for all that they encounter.
◆About Zen food
Buddha’s teaching forbids the killing of animals so Zen monks developed a cuisine based around vegetables and grains.
It’s not just about eating vegetarian food for Zen monks, it’s the entire process from preparation, cooking, eating to cleaning the dishes. This is part of their training and through it, monks can understand themselves.

 

NEKO NINJA

Kagerota, skitnica nindža, je tražen čovjek jer njegov član klana vjeruje da zna gdje se nalaze svici koji govore o mitskim vještinama ratnika koji mijenjaju izgled kako bi pobijedili u bitkama. Kagerota u torbi nosi „Oca“, gojaznu, zlatnodlaku i crvenonosnu mačku. Kagerota vjeruje da je mačka mačji oblik njegovog davno nestalog i legendarnog oca nindže Kuzea Kenzana zbog istog crvenog nosa kao i Kenzanov. U međuvremenu, klan Kiryu, koji je nestrpljiv da vrati svitak, šalje dvije ženske nindže da uhvate Kagerotu: Momiji koja pokušava da se približi čovjeku preko svoje maske kao čistačica u gostionici u kojoj je odsjeo; i Tsubame, Kagerotin prijatelj iz djetinjstva, koji je od tada postao jedan od najboljih nindža u klanu. Kagerota se bori da „Ocu“ vrati svoj ljudski izgled i pobjegne od nindža razbojnika…
Kagerota, a rogue ninja, is a wanted man as his clansman believes that he knows whereabouts of the scrolls which tells the mythical skills of warriors changing appearances to win battles. Kagerota is taking “Father,” an overweight, golden-haired and red-nosed cat in his bag. Kagerota believes the cat is the feline form of his long-disappeared and legendary ninja father Kuze Kenzan because of the same red nose as Kenzan’ s. Meanwhile, the Kiryu Clan, who is anxious to bring the scroll back, dispatches two female ninjas to nab Kagerota: Momiji who tries to get close to the man through her cover as a cleaner at the inn where he is staying; and Tsubame, Kagerota’ s childhood friend, who has since risen to become one of the clan’ s best ninjas. Kagerota fights for making “Father” back to his human appearance and geting away from the thug ninjas…
