Nobody talks about this one. A single hour of puppet animation that moves like memory, where an old pharmacist counts out pills and a customer's life unfolds in the space between transactions. Okamoto built something that doesn't announce itself as profound, just lets you sit inside a moment until you realize you've been watching someone's entire existence compress into the weight of a small glass bottle. The kind of film that stays with you because it refused to reach for you in the first place.

A scientist has just developed a groundbreaking new medicine. Word of the mysterious drug reaches two thieves, and they scheme to take it for themselves. The film is a puppet animation by Tadanari Okamoto, telling its story through animated puppets, and it is classed as slice of life.
