      Juliette ed Émile hanno finalmente acquistato la casa dei loro sogni: spaziosa, coperta di glicine, isolata. Ma non abbastanza, tenuto conto delle quotidiane, irritanti e indesiderate visite dell'unico ingombrante vicino, che riesce a trasformare in assillante tortura la pacifica esistenza della coppia. E il paradiso si popola di incubi con l'apparizione dell'ancora più grassa consorte dell'uomo. Inatteso finale dalle sfumature noir.

    • Amelie, a well-intentioned and eager young westerner, goes to Japan to spend a year working at the Yumimoto Corporation. Returning to the land where she was born is the fulfilment of a dream for Amelie, but once there her working life quickly becomes a comic nightmare of terror and self-abasement. Disturbing, hilarious and totally convincing, Fear and Trembling displays an elegant and shrewd understanding of the intricate ways in which Japanese relationships are made and spoiled.
