プール開きの朝、玄関が忘れ物対策本部になった
日本の6月後半の月曜朝を舞台にした、非常にローカルで共感性の高い生活コメディ。学校のプール開き初日という季節の切り替わりを軸に、保護者の確認、きょうだいの言い分、祖父母の助言、エレベーター前での近所同士のひと言までが重なって、玄関と廊下が一時的な作戦本部になる。待ち合わせや足止めではなく、家庭内と集合住宅内の細かな段取りが気持ちよく連鎖していく構造で、月曜の『今週が始まった』感と、梅雨どきならではの湿度・乾きにくさ・忘れ物不安をやさしく笑いに変える。
6月後半の月曜朝、今年最初の学校プールの日。マンションの玄関まわりで、水泳帽、健康カード、タオル、名前つけ、まだ乾ききらない水着をめぐって家族それぞれの段取りが連鎖し、登校前の数十分が小さな共同作戦になる。
