The president of an IT company purchased a Japanese hot springs inn that went bankrupt in January 2020. Unfortunately, its reopening was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The new owner was also struggling to conceptualize a selling point to promote the inn. He recruited the creative talents of the theater world whose theater jobs had been affected by the COVID-19 policies. Their new job is to develop and construct an elaborate theme for the inn to attract guests. Will this unique collaboration succeed in the “new normal”? Through budget clashes, unforeseen damages to real estate assets, and the struggles of bringing unconventional design ideas to the hospitality industry, this program highlights how one group of people's lives have been transformed by completely new circumstances. Watch as they come together and venture into greater possibilities.
