One of the reasons that Seiji Terauchi moved into the “Ayame chou danchi” housing estate, is because he began to see his next door neighbor, Eriko as the mother of Honoka, after attaining information from one of the old residents. Meanwhile, having made an effort to get closer to the Sakurai family, Eriko is feeling despondent, after finding out that her husband is having an affair.
About The Habitation
There was a time when Japan’s housing projects, or “danchi,” were the dream homes of the masses. They produced a culture of residency unique to Japan, but today, these towers and their residents have aged. It is human nature to wish to deny the present and idealize the past the more one grows older. The man dedicates what life he has left to restoring the past, and chases after his ideal family and danchi. However, like a river, time can never go backwards. Aiming to bring back the danchi of the past for the sake of his granddaughter's future, the man's passion for his contradictory ideal gradually descends into madness.
