1989年，魔法正值日本的昭和64年，魔法不过这一年份并未持续太久，随着天皇的去世，短暂的昭和64年匆匆落下帷幕。而就在这有限的七天内，某地发生一起幼女绑架案。绑匪索取两千万日元巨额赎金，并与受害者家属和办案人员展开巧妙周旋。虽然受害者的父亲（永濑正敏 饰）按照约定缴纳赎金，但 绑匪还是残忍地将女孩杀害。由于日本上下正处在新旧时代交替的关键时刻，代号为“64”的案件并未引起太多人的关注，即使十多年后，这桩悬而未决的案件依然是许多办案人员难以忘怀的心结。当年作为办案人员的三上义信（佐藤浩市 饰）而今正在群马县警署担任宣传官，终日周旋于上级和媒体中间。“64”的最后时效越来越近，人们仿佛又重新记起了这桩谜一般的案件……本片根据横山秀夫的同名推理小说改编。

回复 :In Uruguay, they don't say cheese in front of the camera - they say whisky. Beneath the artificially photographed smiles, however, is a blueprint for the "South American Gothic," minus the farm and the forks. These Montevidean folks' stony expressions belie a life gripped frozen by accustomed routines. So it goes with an old Jewish bachelor who owns an ageing sock factory. When his estranged younger brother decides to visit for their mother's burial, he asks his employee Marta to pose as his wife. The resulting encounter creates clumsy silences that are uncomfortably comic. Grand Prize, Tokyo Film Festival and FIPRESCI prize from Cannes.這一代的年輕人真係好老成好cool，兩個新導演還不到三十，便已拍出型到飛起黑色到痺的老人寂寞晚境。話說襪廠老闆阿積孤家寡人，寂寞到死，一天飛來鴻雁，巴西的弟弟話來拜訪。他要表面風光，唯有求忠厚下屬瑪泰暫充老婆。兩個名字同樣叫孤獨的六十幾歲人忽然親近，彆扭得不在話下。口若懸河的巴西弟弟一出現，畫面調子大轉彎。三人海邊度假，瑪泰沉睡的神經率先波動，往後發生的事估都估唔到。郭利斯馬基式冷面幽默扭橋扭到熱帶南美，黑色照舊輕描淡寫功力同樣高超，另一種風情絕對原創。去年康城驚艷，連奪國際影評人獎及原創觀點大獎。Source: 29th HKIFF (2005)

She suffers from a psychological disorder, her young son is locked up in a juvenile detention center, and since she has no home, she lives in a greenhouse.
