Can you hold this for me?
So tacky. Who is

So are you going to your son?
Still not sure.
Lives with his wife
can be annoying, huh?
Living alone is much easier.
How about you?
My eldest daughter said she would
paid me to raise his child.
Don't want to do it.
No omelet
without breaking the egg.
How about you Michi?
As you know, I don't have any
nobody. I have to find a job.
Ineko came out
hospital today, right?
I hope he doesn't faint
at workplace.
None at home
who can help him.
Yes, but why should we suffer?
- There is a written complaint.
- About what?
Too bad the hotel
forcing seniors to work.
Lots of lies.
The company just says it is.
If an elderly employee dies on the spot
work, it will damage their image.
Everyone will grow old...
Thank you.
"Disassembly Notice"
No one can accept
your current phone call .
Please leave a message
after the beep.
Ineko?
This is Michi.
Maybe you're sleeping.
Hello?
I'm just calling for
know how you are.
I will call again.
Look after yourself.
Hello. This is Wakabayashi.
You got a minute?
I wonder if
you can help me.
I have a female customer
78 years old. Not working.
Single occupant.
I know. Yes...
Is there a way you can accommodate him?
We're the fifth place he's placed.
Right.
I understand.
A moment.
If you can pay two years in advance,
he will rent out to the elderly.
Hello? It will be difficult...
That's right.
I understand.
No problem.
We'll talk again. Thank you.
Unfortunately the answer is no.
If I can't get a job,
I guess there's little chance.
This is generally difficult.
By the way, have you
considering well-being?
There are properties for less fortunate people.
Maybe a better chance.
I'm not ready for that choice.
Oh I see.
So I'm afraid we don't
can help you. Forgive me.
Sorry.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
78 years...
Then...
Finished.
Again?
Excuse me?
Yes?
I don't think this is working.
I keep getting zero results.
It works fine.
Miss Oshima?
Yes?
Then what's the problem?
We can't offer
anything to you.
Sorry.
It really failed.
It's because of my age, they say.
So, the reason I called...
Remember you said
about babysitting your grandson?
I wanted to ask if
I can do it.
Yes, me.
Oh I see.
Or maybe your daughter's friend.
Oh, of course!
Sorry to call at dinner.
Okay, I'll hang up.
See you then.
This is a special unit
for people without families.
We take care of the cremation
for them. Together.
First, two people work
same for one patient.
Don't chat.
That's manners. Okay?
How's the trip?
Fluent.
When the girls were little,
I'll ride with one kid in front,
one in the back, and the baby is tied.
Those three kids?
Isn't that difficult?
Well, I'm tough. Just kidding.
You know, we moms
draw strength from our children.
Of course.
Even if the road is uphill,
you will be able to do it.
- You're going to slide up.
- Is that true?
By the way, you
can let go of these two chairs.
You want to go up?
I want to go up!
- Wait a moment. Is it okay?
- Of course.
This one's heavy.
No one can accept
your current phone call .
What's this?
Oh, blood donation records.
Have you ever been in Nagasaki?
Nagasaki?
Oh, for the bridge.
Bridge?
Tunnels, highways, dams...
I will build anything.

- Yes.
All over Japan.
No attachment.
Hiroshima...
Sendai...
Nagoya.
Hokkaido!
That's a lot of blood.

You keep it there?
They stay cold.
How's your mother?
He remarried.
When?
When is it?
It's been a long time.
Before your father died?
Father is very mellowed out
after he got sick.
He used to be really tough.
There is only one.
I will eat from the pot.

Living alone is much easier.
How about you?
My eldest daughter said she would
paid me to raise his child.
Don't want to do it.
No omelet
without breaking the egg.
How about you Michi?
As you know, I don't have any
nobody. I have to find a job.

Too bad the hotel
forcing seniors to work.
Lots of lies.

Single occupant.
I know. Yes...
Is there a way you can accommodate him?
We're the fifth place he's placed.

A moment.
If you can pay two years in advance,
he will rent out to the elderly.
Hello? It will be difficult...
That's right.
I understand.
No problem.
We'll talk again. Thank you.
Unfortunately the answer is no.
If I can't get a job,
I guess there's little chance.
This is generally difficult.
By the way, have you

Fluent.
When the girls were little,
I'll ride with one kid in front,
one in the back, and the baby is tied.
Those three kids?
Isn't that difficult?
Well, I'm tough. Just kidding.

Of course.
Even if the road is uphill,
you will be able to do it.
