Synopsis

Toy Doctor Fumiyoshi lives with his wife and mother-in-law. He has converted a room at home into a toy hospital and is living repairing broken toys for free. After retiring, Toy Doctor invested three years in obtaining seven certificates. Although it is a hospital that fixes toys, it is so popular that people who visit him vary from children to grandmothers, and from Hokkaido and Okinawa, it is so popular that they send or visit here. But most of all, Fumiyoshi likes children opening the door and coming to fix toys. Miniature otaku and rare figure collectors are also customers visiting toy hospitals. Today, a Ferris wheel mania visited the hospital, and the number of young friends in their 40s increased after a long time. He stops by a toy secondhand shop to buy junk goods. Toy Doctor is keen on renovating as well as repairing toys. As a former school teacher for children with disabilities, he is particularly interested in toys for children with physical disabilities. He develops various switches and inexpensive parts for children with unnatural movements to play with toys. Today is the day to meet Toy Doctors from all over the country once a year in Nagoya. In the meantime, he take various toy switches developed through research and got on the Shinkansen. 

Director's Statement

In our society, the word elderly is used as a class concept rather than a generational division. An old man is just a reference to an old and useless man. People with high social status, such as scholars, politicians, and chaebol, are not called elderly no matter how old they are. As if everything that is not used is called trash, one must show at home and in society that it is still useful not to be called an old man. Toys are considered exclusive to young children. A person is interested in repairing toys during his teaching career continues to communicate with the world at a toy hospital even after retirement hospital. Meeting various people in the space of about 6.6§³ becomes the driving force for living as a member of this society, not the elderly. The heavy meeting that lasts through children's toys that are considered light will give various thoughts on "aging" and invite viewers to the world of childhood forgotten through colorful toys.
