Other name: セトウツミ, Seto Utsumi, Setou Tsumi

Description:

Setoutsumi is a captivating slice-of-life comedy film that beautifully captures the essence of youth through the simplest of human interactions. Set in the Kansai area, the story follows two high school boys, Seto and Utsumi, as they spend their post-school hours engaged in conversation. Unlike typical high-stakes teen dramas, this film focuses entirely on their completely normal but comedic chats after school. From mundane daily observations to absurd philosophical debates, their witty banter and dry humor turn ordinary afternoons into extraordinary moments. This unique premise, adapted from the acclaimed manga that was nominated for the 18th Annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize Reader Award in 2014, offers a refreshing and hilarious cinematic experience. Audiences will be charmed by the natural chemistry between Seto and Utsumi, proving that the best conversations are often about nothing at all.
