A Bride for Rip Van Winkle (2016)

In a world where the digital and physical often collide, Nanami, a dispirited junior high school teacher, finds comfort in the virtual embrace of "Planet", a burgeoning social network. Her mundane life takes an unexpected turn when she's messaged by Tetsuya, a charming stranger who soon becomes her real-life beau. Their whirlwind romance culminates in an engagement, yet Tetsuya's insistence on a large wedding guest list leaves Nanami in a bind. Reaching out to her online confidant, Amuro, a self-styled master of many trades, she enlists his help to stage a grand wedding. Using paid actors to play her guests, the wedding unfolds seamlessly, yet the facade doesn’t last. A few weeks post-ceremony, Tetsuya's mother accuses Nanami of deception, shattering her newfound happiness. Fleeing from her imploded life, Nanami finds solace in a hotel maid job. The monotony is broken when Amuro materializes with an offer to work as a housekeeper in an aged mansion. There, Nanami finds herself drawn to the mansion's lone resident, whose vibrant spirit inspires her to let her guard down. However, as she peels back the layers of her new life, Nanami begins to question the true nature of Amuro, the mansion, and its enigmatic resident. Her journey reminds us that even in a world of make-believe, reality has its way of seeping in, and even the most enchanting dreams have their boundaries.
