It portrays an indirect connection between two guys who were switched at birth, which later one becomes a burglar (by the name of Tadashi) and the other lives much better life as a baseball player, albeit his career is not as smooth as it supposed to be. The story is told from the burglar's point of view along with his cute girlfriend who is his partner-in-crime. Don't get me wrong, it is very far from being a tearjerker, instead, it is a story dotted with dry humor till the end. The storytelling itself, though not too spectacular, serves the plot really well. This movie also displays a very nice ending, parallel to Fish Story (you'd understand if you had watch it) but in a more normal universe.
My favorite character is Kurosawa, who is Tadashi's colleague and also a fellow burglar. He steals the scene wherever he is in. Pretty much everyone's acting is good and this movie is well-directed. At last, this show is a well-made feel-good, slice of life movie and I recommend you to grab it.
