Teaser - Toad’s Oil (Gama no Abura)

Koji Yakusho‘s directorial debut. Takuya (Eita) suffers a serious injury in a car accident and loses consciousness while returning home from a date. It just so happens that his friend Saburo (Junichi Sawayashiki) has been released from a juvenile detention center on that very day. Not knowing what to do, his eccentric day-trading father Takuro (Yakusho) and his mother Terumi (Satomi Kobayashi) take Saburo in. Meanwhile, Takuya’s girlfriend Hikari (Fumi Nikaido) remains completely oblivious to Takuya’s injuries. Slated for release in Japan on June 6, 2009.

im used to Yakusho in ultra serious roles, so this seems odd to me.
