Turtles Are Surprisingly Fast Swimmers Satoshi Miki

Director Miki Satoshi's comic tale of a bored housewife's new occupation as a spy. Stuck in domestic purgatory while her businessman husband travels the world, Suzume Katakura (Juri Ueno) dreams of another life. Fate lends a hand one day when she stumbles upon a flyer trying to recruit spies.

Intrigued by the offer, Suzume phones the number, and is directed three days later to a run-down flat in one of the city's seedier areas. Met by an unemployed man and a female shopping mall announcer who claim to be in the pay of a foreign power, Suzume soon succumbs to their sales pitch, taking charge of a large amount of yen to finance her first mission.
