Document 72 Hours S2014E03 - The "Rain, then Fine" Coin Laundry

The Shonan coastal region in Japan conjures up images of summertime, youth culture, fashion. We cast an offbeat video eye on an obscure but revealing Shonan location: a 24-hour coin laundry, during the rainy season. People stream in, clutching bags of laundry, mostly just to dry them.

All of them are waiting for a spell of "clear weather".
