NHK's documentary program "Document 72 Hours" (General) will air "Winter Food Stall Street in Kure, Hiroshima" from 10:00 pm on February 27th. The setting for this episode is a street lined with nine food stalls in Kure, Hiroshima. What are the thoughts of the people who are drawn in by the smell and enter through the noren curtains on a winter's night?
The program featured colleagues from a shipbuilding company who came to finish off their year-end party, a couple who said they were looking forward to coming for drinks with their 20-year-old son, and young people who were a little nervous about their first time at a food stall. Most of the food stalls have around 10 seats, and as people huddle together over a drink, they find themselves spilling out their innermost thoughts. For three days, the program listened to the conversations that could be heard on the cold nights of the end of the year.
This documentary program focuses on a single location each time, observing the various human dramas that occur there over a period of 72 hours. It listens to the stories of people who meet by chance, capturing the current era.
