I'm the cameraman...
...Kameda.
For those who are currently mothers as well as to future mothers.
We also want to put our feelings into it as the baton...
...we will be passing along to our current young staff.
I understand!
My favorite movies are the ones with hot passions in them.
How about you as Director?
The Director? Me?
Wouldn't he work out fine?
Are you saying that seriously?
Director Norio!
Will you do it or not?
I'll do it.

The screenwriter should be Akemi-san, right?
Eh?
See you next week! Goodbye!
Bye! See you next week!
Eisuke, bye-bye!
Yeah. So long; see you again.
Eisuke-san, bye-bye.
Yeah. Goodbye.
Coming!
It's my next student.
Ah, come in.
How are you doing?
Ah...
This is your next student?
She's my oldest student.
Right?
That's true.

Oh my god!
A movie? About Kiaris?
Yes.
Thanks to my friends, who work hard to make things with me.
No matter how old we get...
I think I can keep feeling young.
That's the secret to staying young and healthy, isn't it?
You really look old.
Ah, say, would you have some time tonight?
Eh?
Anyhow, you've got nothing to do, right?
Kiaris Guide
You'll make the movie's screenplay from this?
To be honest, the lines I write are stiff and boring.
No, that's not true... These are quite easy to read.
That's because I had all sorts of help on it.
Ehh...
And... how long will this movie be?
Between 30 and 40 minutes.
In that case, first off...
...you should pick out those things from this that you want to have visualized.
That's true, huh.
"Items to have prepared for childbirth." "About diapers..."
Ai will have the lead?! And I'll be in it, too?
That's right. Ai... Ai-chan, come here.
Yes, Ai-chan will be our star...
What should I do? Ken-chan...
That's great, isn't it? Then I'll go ahead and take my bath.
Ah...
Since you both live and work together, when something happens, it gets tough, doesn't it?
Well, still, we're family. Well then, let's have dinner.
Join us if you want, Kimi-chan.
Thank you.
At that time, the two of us watched the flowers
Ano toki onaji hana o mite
The Next Morning
And they were so beautiful
Utsukushii to itta futari no
Our hearts were one and the same
Kokoro to kokoro ga
Come today!
I'll be there!
Now that wonderful thing
Ima wa mou kayowanai
No longer exists...
Ano subarashii
I'll come back later...
Whaa!
Whaa.
That surprised me... We fell asleep, didn't we?
We really did...
What time is it now?
It's 8:00.
It's already that time, huh...
And then, a few days later.
A Few Days Later...
Hello.
Movie
"KIaris Guide"
Screenplay
Ah.
Eh?
I'm sorry. The Director should read it first, right?
I go first?
Please read it.
Ah... yes.
As you read the lines, please try picturing the movie in your head.
Well, you can figure out the camera blocking that way...
Camera blocking?
For example... Though it says "sleeping baby" here in the script...
Do you want the camera to pan in this way or from this direction...
...or maybe straight ahead... or even from above...?
Ah...
That's cool.
Our leading lady is your granddaughter. Please think of her while you're reading this.
Yes.
Ah... well, this is a great screenplay!
Ah... Akemi-san, you're incredible!
You're awesome!
Awesome!
Eisuke-san helped me out with it.
Eh?
He did?
How? Why?
I met him at Yuri-san's place when I went there for my English lesson.
At that time... somehow...
...I thought Eisuke-san's eyes had this look like that of a dead fish, so I just called out to him.
Say... how about if we got Eisuke-san to help us out with this, too?
Whaa... that would be good!
Yeah!
I agree.
Let's do that.
We should!
Ah, sorry about this when you're all excited.
This is about the title...
We really shouldn't use "Kiaris Guide"?
I think it'd be better if it had a title that was more descriptive of what it's about.
You've got a point...
In that case, what should we use?
Okay! Then each of you please give us a title. Assistant Director!
"Child-rearing Techniques, Timeless Edition."
The jack-of-all-trades!
Ah... "My Baby."
Not bad... Not bad at all. Okay next, the Director!
"My Ai-chan."
Okay, next!
"Our Parenting Method."
Too stiff... Okay, next!
"Mama and Baby."
That's close! Okay, next!
"Troubled Mama."
We need another one...
Okay, next!
Let's see... "Welcome Baby."
Has our title come?
That's it!
That's the one!
"Welcome Baby," huh?
Ah... really?
I think that's a great title!
Thank you.
It's the best! The best!
Well then, it's "Welcome Baby." Let's start shooting this weekend, as scheduled.
"A movie isn't something that should give out clear answers."
"Instead, it makes you think."
"The answers will be unique to each viewer."
It's finished.
Welcome Baby
It's a great title, isn't it?
It really is.
Eh?
Script
Ono Akemi
Iwase Eisuke
Script Collaboration
You're one of our staff, too.
We start shooting this weekend.
Action!
Can I look at this right as the Director?
You will see it.
Whaa! What is this?! How long have you been there?!
The entire time.
The entire time?!
This... is from Mom and me.
Here.
What is it?
Open it and find out.
What is it?
It'll make you look like a Director, right?
Ah!
It's exactly like this one!
You're right! Try wearing it.
Yeah. Looks good on you.
Really? I look good in it?
Yeah, it looks good on you.
Whaa... thanks!
Well then Director, will you have some tea?
I will.
Oh.
I can snap my fingers!
First Day of Filming
And then, the morning of filming had arrived.
Good morning.
You look like a Director, don't you?
Ah... since I am the Director.
Huh? Where's Take-chan?
Sorry for running late!
Sorry...
Ah...
When I told her I was the Assistant Director...
...my wife Tomiko said I should look like one, so...
Well, that's okay...
Excuse me.
Yes! Come in.
Eisuke-san.
It's been a long time, hasn't it?
Yeah, you're looking well.
Eisuke-san.
Sakura-chan. This child is...?
Yes. My daughter, Ai.
Would you like to hold her?
Ah... Are you sure?
Ai, this is Eisuke-san. When I was a little girl...
...he was very kind to me.
And we played together so much.
Ai-chan, huh...
She's cute.
Be happy.
Well then, our first shot will be a close-up of Ai.
Director. Your first words will be important.
Yes.
Okay, Assistant Director!
Whaa... this is a big job for you.
Yes. Well then... "Welcome Baby" will start filming.
Ready?
Yes.
You're sure?
Okay... Action!
Hey, geez...!
Ai, don't cry. It's okay!
He scared you, didn't he?
You mustn't just suddenly shout like that. You either, Take-chan...
Yes...
Right from the start, "Welcome Baby" would have many difficulties awaiting it.
