A train on tangled tracks, a headlight
that doesn’t know where to turn, and
a car with square wheels make the
many comical, even absurd, situations
that the character of these Unusual
days goes through with pleasure.
With an expressive style touched by
colorful accents, Taro Mira shines a
light on those days which follow each
other, but that do not look alike.

A funny and poetic glance on the rugby
to counterbalance stereotyps of violence
and aggressiveness connected to this
sport.
A lot of dynamic expressions which
reveal, at the end, human values which
make the strength of the rugby: suppleness,
agility, tonicity, rebound, power,
endurance, the good handling of the
rugger, solidarity, audacity, a taste for
danger and above all a big heart…
