熱帯魚

Daisuke is a carpenter. He has moved in with Mami, a lovely single mother, and hopes to marry her. Then Mitsuo, a withdrawn younger brother by marriage who does little all day but stare at tropical fish, joins the household too. In this odd shared life the couple start to drift slightly out of step, and Daisuke is left wondering what it is he is in love with, in a raw, unsettled portrait of young people born in the 1960s.
