In 1993 Kanao and Shoko are a Tokyo couple awaiting the arrival of their first child. Although both have studied art, Kanao works as a shoe repairman which doesn't stretch his rather laid-back style and Shoko works in a small publishing firm. Their home life is marked by some clashes between her attempts at regimentation, including scheduling their sex life on a calendar, and his flirting with other women. Kanao is offered work as a courtroom sketch artist and becomes a witness to the most sensational murder trials of Japan through the next 8 years.
All Around Us is a film I didn't even knew existed until just a while ago, and for being such a good movie it's strange that it had passed by my radar undetected. It's a film with a very steep emotional curve. In other words, the low points are very dark and thick with depression and anxiety, while it as easily can entertain you and have its happy moments. Nonetheless, the characters goes through some very tough times and the performances are effective and convincing.
