Trama
Six dramatized stories based on true-life events connected to the popular Japanese flea market service Mercari explores the lives of ordinary folk in the country – and how family, friends, and more stay connected in modern society.
Riku (Marie Iitoyo) is a delivery operator for a major logistics firm named Elephant Express. She is contracted to make a series of deliveries to some very different households.
In the first story, Riku delivers an unusual package full of memories to a new owner.
Secondly, a soon-to-be-divorced couple decides to have a final meal together before going on their separate ways – but could this final, civilized act have far-reaching consequences?
In the third story, a hobbyist who enjoys making small trinkets to sell for minor sums on the Mercari marketplace runs into a buyer at a railway station.
In story number four, a neighbor takes objection to a mother of four whose exasperated scolding of her offspring raises the noise levels unacceptably high.
In the penultimate story, a family that has moved to the countryside starts growing flowers in an empty field – and starts gaining interest from potential buyers on the Mercari platform.
And in the final episode, Riku’s father is hospitalized – and he asks her to watch a videotape featuring footage of her late grandparents.
“Deliveries from the Heart – True Stories from Mercari” is a 2020 Japanese drama series that was directed by Kenji Katagiri.
