Almost Coming, Almost Dying

About This Movie

So, 'Almost Coming, Almost Dying' is this quirky little comedy that’s packed with unexpected moments. It follows Manabu, a 29-year-old teacher in Sapporo, who decides to indulge himself on New Year's Eve. But, of course, things don’t go as planned. Picture this: he's at a sex club, and just when he's about to have a real moment, bam—brain hemorrhage. What a way to kick off the year, right? The contrast between the raunchy setup and the serious family drama that unfolds is pretty wild. It has this offbeat tone that makes it memorable. The performances, especially in the hospital scene, bring out that awkward comedy vibe really well. Plus, the pacing keeps it engaging. Definitely a unique take on life's unpredictability.
