Second Cocoon

A couple falls in love again through strange encounters and awkward situations during a hot summer. Hajime sees his wife in the street wearing strange clothes. When asked, she says it wasn’t her. Hajime then installs cameras to monitor his wife and that’s just the start of his paranoia. His interactions with people become more twisted, leading him to question reality. Whimsical, odd and surreal, with great black-and-white cinematography.

Mika is a single woman in her 40s living in a corner of Tokyo. While sorting through her mother's belongings after she died of cancer, she finds a skirt that her mother loved as a child. One day, a divorced man with a child, Akio, comes to the beauty salon where Mika works. He is Mika's elementary school classmate, and the two exchange contact information when they meet again for the first time in 30 years. That night, Mika gets into trouble on her way home and asks Akio for help, but for some reason, he comes running to her wearing the skirt.
