I want to fall in love like this, even if it only happens once in my life. -- Kitano Takeshi. The "ultimate love" realized by Takeshi Kitano, who is over seventy years old. A classic novel that depicts the rare pure relationship between men and women today and explores what "loving someone" means. "Back to Basics" is a pure love novel created by Japanese film master Takeshi Kitano. Takeshi Kitano, who is over seventy years old, wrote the "ultimate love" he realized in this pure and somewhat "violent" fictional love novel. Mizushima Satoru, who is in his thirties, is an interior designer. He insists on making models with his own hands, is skeptical about the convenience brought by the digital age, and feels uncomfortable with an environment where communication can be made anytime and anywhere. One day, he met Miyuki in a cafe. They don't know each other's identities, but they are strongly attracted to each other. The two did not exchange contact information, but only made a naive agreement - if each other is free, they will meet at the same place every Thursday evening. "As long as we both want to see each other, we will definitely meet." A return-to-basics relationship begins...

In the tavern deep in the alley, the best "drinking dish" is none other than the venomous tongue of Takeshi Kitano! Sometimes it is a hilarious and clever talk, sometimes it is a jaw-dropping frankness, sometimes it is a serious argument that makes people sigh... Japanese director Takeshi Kitano sharply self-analyzes the first half of his life, "The car accident was the turning point of my life. From then on, I lost interest in living", "In order to succeed like me, thousands of people fell." The rare genius Kitano Takeshi uncovers various diseases of modern society from five aspects: life and death, education, interpersonal relationships, rules, and movies, and awakens the public to think in reverse.
