"Midnight Diner", a Japanese movie.

The shaky camera showed the bustling night scene of Japan, and then it slowly calmed down and turned to a small restaurant in a deep alley.

The plot is very simple, telling many stories that take place in a late-night restaurant.

This restaurant is known as the "Late Night Diner". The menu only has pork chop set menu and wine. The owner can make various dishes using the available ingredients according to the guests' requirements, and he will also bring out the human touch with the guests.

story.

Each short story is very simple and thought-provoking. Recalling different lives through delicious food is really the best spiritual enjoyment in the middle of the night.

As a sequel movie, it's rare that the second movie gets higher ratings than the first.

It shows everyone’s love for this movie.

The starring role is still Kaoru Kobayashi.

A mature healing uncle who satisfies all women's fantasies. It seems that every delicacy he serves can heal all injured hearts.

The film starts with three stories to tell the pain and love in life.

Story 1: Barbeque set meal.

In the first story, almost all the guests who came to the late-night cafeteria were dressed in black because they had just attended a funeral and came for a late-night snack before they had time to change clothes.

But there was only one woman who was different. She was also wearing mourning clothes, but she did not attend the funeral.

But simply because the work pressure is too great, in order to change my mood, I will change my clothes and go out for a walk, and come to the boss to eat a barbecue set meal.

She proved with her actions what "going to work is like going to the grave".

She was an editor, but her work was not going well and she was removed from her position as editor.

I went to submit a manuscript to the teacher, and witnessed the teacher pass away while writing due to overwork.

It can be said that we are experiencing the most "lost" period in our lives.

In such a mournful life, luckily I met Ishida who also came to attend the funeral.

Ishida is a warm-hearted man who is good at flirting with girls. He quickly healed her injury, and the two quickly sparked a small spark of love. From then on, she never wore mourning clothes again.

Cure?

Romantic?

Happy?

It's a pity that she was deceived.

Suddenly one day the police came to her door with a photo. They pointed at Ishida in the photo and said that the man in the photo specializes in stealing things at funerals and always pursues women at funerals.

Frustrated at work and equally frustrated in love, she put on mourning clothes and prepared to indulge herself, and was almost cheated by a scumbag on the roadside.

But all lovelorn moments are making way for true love. Hurt by love, she finally took off her mourning clothes and found true love.

It turns out that true love is supporting you in doing what you like.

Story 2 Soba Noodles.

This is a story about a mother and her son crossing the generation gap.

The wife of a soba noodle shop raised her 25-year-old son alone. Because she loved her deceased husband very much, she grafted all her emotions onto her son.

But the son, who longs for independence and growth, does not agree with his mother's concept of not letting go of anything.

He even wants to marry his girlfriend who is 15 years older than him to prove his independence.

Because of the age gap, he was strongly opposed by his mother.

Coincidentally, the mother met a new drinking girl in the late-night cafeteria, and she did not know that this girl was actually her son's girlfriend.

After hearing the girl say that her mother-in-law did not agree with her marrying her partner, she criticized her righteously: You are such a useless mother. She just jumps to conclusions without even knowing you.

By chance, one day, the three of them met in the canteen late at night.

The mother also jokingly introduced her drinking buddy to her son and praised her as a good girl, which was very embarrassing.

After my mother knew the truth, she was frightened and instantly confused.

Although the mother kept saying rejection, she always recognized her son's growth in her heart.

She came to the late-night cafeteria to eat, and the boss gave her a bowl of soba noodles that was not delicious. In fact, this bowl of noodles was learned secretly by her son after he decided to inherit the family's soba noodles.

The son hopes to revive the store one day and wants his mother to relax as soon as possible.

My mother said how delicious it was, shedding tears of happiness as she stuffed the soba noodles into big mouthfuls.

The son and his girlfriend finally plucked up the courage to walk side by side.

Story 3 Pork Soup Set.

In the final story, it is about a mother searching for her son and repenting of her own experiences.

A 70-year-old grandmother received a scam call saying that her son in Tokyo needed 2 million yen.

So the old lady came all the way to deliver money to the scammer. After delivering the money, it was getting late and she couldn't go home.

After hearing her experience, the kind-hearted driver thought the grandma had met a scammer and sent her to the police station. The enthusiastic police officers took the grandma to the late-night cafeteria for a late-night snack.
