Tadakuni, Hidenori and Yoshitake can turn an uneventful afternoon into an elaborate disaster.

Their imaginations can make a routine encounter feel like a dramatic scene, usually until reality interrupts. The ensemble's competing ideas of maturity give the comedy its momentum, finding embarrassment and elaborate nonsense in days when very little actually needs to happen.
