Other name:

Description:

Tamako in Moratorium is a captivating slice-of-life drama starring Atsuko Maeda as Tamako, a recent university graduate. After completing her studies in Tokyo, Tamako returns home to Kofu to live with her father. However, instead of launching into adulthood and searching for a career, she enters a prolonged phase of absolute inertia. Throughout the four seasons of the year, Tamako refuses to find a job or assist her father with any household chores. Instead, she spends her days doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and lounging around the house. This quietly humorous and deeply relatable film explores the slow-paced dynamic between an indulgent father and his lethargic daughter. As the seasons change in Kofu, the story captures the essence of modern youth anxiety, the pressure of societal expectations, and the comforting, stagnant beauty of taking a temporary pause from life.
