Synopsis

The coronavirus pandemic caused an abrupt shift in lifestyle for most, forcing society to a crawl as people faced a new reality in which we could no longer do as we’ve been accustomed to. Sanpo Jikan depicts the lives of an ensemble cast, ranging from teens to forties—each one grappling with their individual struggles. 

For Yukari (Otomo Karen) and her fiancé (Maehara Kou), a couple who can hardly organize a move—let alone have a wedding—have a party hosted in their honor, but the mood hits a disquieted note when Yukari discovers her to-be-husband’s secret. Also with their own worries is actor Kataoka (Abera Hidenobu), watching his performances shrivel as he handles an increase in deliveries, and taxi driver Awaji (Takahashi Tsutomu), who’s been unable to return home and hold his baby. It’s a difficult time for students, too, as nearly all events are cancelled, leaving Suzu (Sasaki Yuka) and her crush (Santoki Soma) a lack of opportunity to convey their feelings.
