A heartwarming comedy film adaptation of the stage play “Not beer but low-molt beer,” performed by the theater troupe Orega United in 2013. It follows the twist-filled schemes of four people who gather at the wake of a woman with dementia and end up battling over her fortune.
Sameshima, a good-natured con artist, and his underling Oshikiri secure a promise from the elderly Mrs. Taki Harue, who has been living off the inheritance of her wealthy husband, to buy her solid-gold dentures. But when they visit her home on the appointed day, they find Harue’s wake being held there. With Harue’s granddaughter Saki also present, attorney Tsuji opens the will and discovers that it states, “The person who remains until the end on the night of the wake shall inherit the fortune.” By sheer chance, the four who gain inheritance rights launch into a single night of deception.
Tamakki Yuki, active mainly in 2.5-dimensional stage productions, stars as Sameshima. He is joined by Soma Satoru from the tokusatsu drama “Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger,” Nagase Miru from “Yoru no Manimani,” and Ito Keitoku from “Kono Machi to Watashi.” Tsumuji Sado, who wrote and directed the stage version, handled the screenplay, and director Nakagawa Hirotaka, making his feature-length debut with this film, took the helm.
