Planet Mizsa

The narrative centers on Yoshisuke, who grows up in a picturesque small town where his father runs a paper lantern shop. Despite the beautiful scenery, Yoshisuke feels a sense of boredom that leads him to a local prostitution shop. There, he meets Mizusa, who claims to be an alien. Their encounters spark a series of conversations about her life and the nature of existence, particularly her assertion that if she stops working as a prostitute, the world will cease to exist.

The film features a diverse cast, including Aimi Satsukawa, Hideki Fujioka, and Lily Franky. The blend of reality and science fiction elements invites viewers to reflect on deeper themes surrounding existence and personal connection. This film may appeal to collectors interested in unique narratives that challenge conventional storytelling, particularly within the Japanese cinema landscape of the 2010s.
