Three dinners are shared between two buddies. They chat about fish breeding while munching on dried shrimp in the back room of a pet store. They search for a weasel control method in a distant new house in the highlands. A growing sense of claustrophobia during a dinner party amid a blizzard gives lead to unsettling dreams. Their chats frequently go in unexpected places, but when one of the men grows older and becomes a father, more and more is kept silent. Weasels in the Attic is an odd and powerful study on fertility, masculinity, and marriage in contemporary Japan that combines emotional acuity with sarcastic humour.
