About Widowed Proprietress: Hold and Eat
Fujiko, who runs the sushi restaurant left to her by her husband, is troubled by her high school daughter Miki's future and the fact that her chefs don't seem to last long. One day, Fujiko dreams of having sex with her husband. Since then, Fujiko has been changing. She starts accurately predicting horse race results and even guessing what Miki will write on her test. The chefs, including Tomizawa, start making a fuss, saying she has psychic abilities. Terashima, who has feelings for Fujiko, tries to make money off of her powers, and Fujiko becomes famous for her psychic fortune-telling...

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2000.

One night, the Nohara family were enjoying a pleasant dream, when suddenly a big fish appeared in their dreams and ate them. The next morning, Hiroshi read in the newspaper that everybody in another town had the same nightmare as him, but it seemed to have ended. But Hiroshi also heard the same dream from Misae, Shinnosuke, Himawari and even Shiro. They were surprised and thought if the same thing is happening in Kasukabe too. In kindergarten, on telling others about his nightmare, Shinnosuke was surprised to know that everybody too had the same dream. Then a mysterious girl named Saki was transferred to Futaba Kindergarten and joined Shinnosuke's class.
