Summary
The one-hundred-year-old Fujiya inn stands in the quiet region of Kyoto. Mikoto is standing in front of the Kibune river at the back of the building when she is called back to work. But two minutes later, she finds herself back at the river again. The whole inn seems to be stuck in a time loop!

Besides the comedy, _River_ feels like a more polished version of _Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes_ (_BTITM_) in every aspect. It’s still humorous, but just lacks the audible laughs _BTITM_ had. Even though they’re similar in concept, _River_ has an entire area stuck in this time paradox — much like a Bermuda Triangle for its 96-minute run time.
_River_ is smartly written, has a fantastic cast, and is beautifully filmed.
