7 huge holes suddenly appear in locations around Japan. The holes appear in random places like in the sky, in the middle of a road, in a field, or in the middle of the city. Citizens are confused about the holes, and different investigations are carried out about the holes, but the true nature of the holes remains known. As time goes by, people begin to live with these holes. Many people go into the holes, but nobody has returned from the holes. Then, a man named Ozawa appears who worships the holes as a god. He insists that salvation can be found in the hole. Eight people who are followers of Ozawa gather at a resort facility. The eight people are Kawabata, Sugaya, Matsuoka, Aoyama, Watanabe, Shingo, Iguchi, and Okamoto. Following Ozawa's rule, they must talk about why they want to go and record themselves before they enter the hole. (Source: AsianWiki) Edit Translation

Reviews
??????????
I dont know what exactly I've just seen.People telling stories about their lives before making a crucial decision.
We see them sometimes playing children but with an adult body.
All is filmed like in a theatre stage that adds a feeling of falsehood.
There are seven huge holes in big rocks floating in Japan. Those who enter these holes never come back.
What's the point ? What does it mean ?
I'd like to know what other viewers think about this show. Did I miss something important ?
An arthouse film on an instalment plan
Netflix has been quietly sneaking in newer doramas of all shades and stripes and I approve of that. I don't get to decide what qualifies as a dorama and what not, but... I find it impossible to describe this as anything other than an eight-part arthouse film that could have been made anywhere. Keep that in mind. You have now been warned and may proceed at your own risk.There is no Indy Jones and no Lara Croft. None of the characters are going on adventures inside the titular orifices. Rather they narrate events from their utterly ordinary lives before unheroically hiking into them, or not. The orifices themselves remain an unexplained part of the landscape. Nothing is conquered, nothing is transcended, and no risks are taken. Not by the characters and probably not by the people who made it. I can't tell if the producers put their money into this work as a profit-seeking endeavour, as a labour of love, or as a tax write-off.
Should you watch it? Well, considering that I could pause it to cook and clean and then forget that I'd been watching it for another half hour... you should get up, get dressed, and support the performing arts by going to the theatre to watch a Pirandello play instead.
