Kazuma Saito (Tomoya Nakamura) is a young man whose life was changed forever after he was involved in a traffic accident at elementary school. He has developed seven totally distinct personalities named after each day of the week. None of these personalities has any recollection of what the other did, and none can communicate with one another – save via sticky notes and a journal. While one is a fast-living rock band member with a penchant for alcohol, women, and cigarettes, the next is a shy, clean-living young man. Another is a budding sports enthusiast...and so on. The personalities are so different that they have their own shoes, toothbrushes, clothes, and desks.

But life gets complicated for all of them when one of their number – Wednesday – suddenly goes missing. Who will fill in for Wednesday? Will the role fall to Tuesday? Can there be a week without a Wednesday? The remaining personalities try to answer these questions and fix the problem before it threatens to consume them all. Tuesday looks into solutions that include an experimental surgery that could put an end to these problems once and for all – but is this risk really worth taking?

“Gone Wednesday” is a 2020 Japanese movie that was directed by Kohei Yoshino.

Gone Wednesday

Michitaro Sano (Masao Kusakari) threw himself into his work life after his wife died almost two decades ago, and ever since has lived with his daughter Yumiko (Fumino Kimura).

Michitaro Sano was almost oblivious to his daughter’s life while he was still working. But when he retires, he finds himself with almost nothing to do all day.

With all this free time, he starts to learn more about his daughter’s life, and is surprised to learn that not only does she have a boyfriend that he did not know about, but that she is seriously thinking about getting married to him.

She also asks him to start pulling his weight at home, helping with the chores for the very first time.

As a distraction from his now-mundane home life, he decides to join a fitness group run by a local radio station – discovering a whole new group of people who help him learn about life after retirement.
