Ueshima Jane

[Machine Translation] The first film starring Ryubei Ueshima! In Shidashita, Chiba Prefecture, one man went down to one of the best surf spots in Japan to become a true surfer. His name is Ryubei Ueshima, 47 years old. He is a comedian by profession. The words "I want to feel the earth" came from his heart, an honest feeling that sprouted as he spent his days chasing after something in the cold, inorganic city. For what purpose was I born and for what purpose will I die? Ueshima was searching for the meaning of his existence in his daily life and decided to try surfing in order to break free from his current situation. Ariyoshi, a junior comedian, senses Ueshima's spirit and decides to take up the challenge with him... What awaits them as they begin surfing is the gentle and sometimes harsh waves of Shidashita, contact and friendship with local surfers, a series of incidents and conflicts, and an event that will change Ueshima's life forever. It was love. At the age of 47, he entered puberty for the second time in his life, which gave him a little courage. A surf documentary interwoven with the best waves and a sweet and sad summer of love!
