On January 11th, 2013, THE FOREIGN DUCK, THE NATIVE DUCK AND GOD IN A COIN LOCKER (?????????????, Ahiru to Kamo to Koinrokka, 2007) comes to DVD in the United Kingdom from distributor Third Window Films. Yoshihiro Nakamura, the internationally acclaimed director and writer behind FISH STORY and GOLDEN SLUMBER brings another topsy-turvy tale that will have you guessing till the thrilling climax! Moving into his new apartment in Sendai, college student Shiina (Gaku Hamada from ULTRAMAN GAIA: THE BATTLE IN HYPERSPACE, FISH STORY, SPACE BROTHERS) meets his new neighbor Kawasaki (Eita from HARA-KIRI: DEATH OF A SAMURAI, MEMORIES OF MATSUKO). Tall, confident Kawasaki and short, mild-mannered Shiina seem to be unlikely candidates for friendship, but they click over a mutual interest in Bob Dylan. Kawasaki is an odd duck, but in an irresistibly cool and charming kind of way, and Shiina can`t help but be drawn into his more exciting, if slightly loony world. Kawasaki`s head is full of unpredictable ideas, like his absurd warnings about pet shop owner Reiko (Nene Otsuka from LIMIT OF LOVE: UMIZARU, I WISH) or his even more absurd plan to steal a dictionary for their Bhutanese neighbor. Next thing Shiina knows, he`s standing watch with a toy gun outside the bookstore, on the beginning of their bizarre, existential adventure...
