Description:

In the hilarious comedy Bubble Fiction Boom or Bust, Japan faces a severe economic crisis with a national debt of 800 trillion yen. The Ministry of Finance traces the issue back to a disastrous 1990 real estate policy that burst the bubble economy. To fix the past, civil servant Shimokawaji, played by Abe Hiroshi, recruits Mayumi, an indebted bar hostess played by Hirosue Ryoko. Mayumi learns that her mother Mariko, played by Yakushimaru Hiroko, invented a time machine and traveled back to 1990 to stop the policy, but has since gone missing. Now, Mayumi must embark on a wild time-travel mission to 1990 to find her mother and save Japan from financial ruin. Directed by Baba Yasuo, this 2007 film is a colorful, nostalgic comedy that contrasts a somber present with the neon-lit excess of the 1990s, delivering endless laughter and fun.
