Fish Story
The Foreign Duck, the Native Duck and God in a Coin Locker
What they share
Both films are directed by Yoshihiro Nakamura, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Fish Story, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Foreign Duck, the Native Duck and God in a Coin Locker is
Late-night locker clank, basement fluorescents buzzing. A scavenger hunts a missing coin locker key, stumbles through his neighbor’s messy archive of VHS tapes and lost umbrellas. The neighbor’s past surfaces in reels and receipts, tangled with a girl who once vanished like a duck call in rain. A puzzle box of grief, coincidence and shrine donations.
