00:06 Have you ever been on your own before?
00:11 No, never.
00:12 Your last relationship lasted how many years?
00:14 Around 12.
00:15 Sexual preference?
00:17 Women.
00:18 Is there a bisexual option available?
00:21 No, sir. This option is no longer available.
00:24 And the dog?
00:27 My brother. He was here a couple of years ago, but he didn't make it.
00:29 [The Dog]
00:31 Did you read the leaflet?
00:32 Yes, I did.
00:33 As you understand from your brother's experience,
00:35 if you fail to fall in love with someone during your stay here,
00:37 you'll turn into an animal.
00:39 Have you ever danced with anybody?
00:41 Yes.
00:42 As an animal, you'll have a second chance to find a companion.
00:45 What sort of dancing did you do?
00:48 Just depends on the music.
00:50 Mind if we join you?
00:56 It's no coincidence that the targets are shaped like single people and not couples.
01:01 Did you catch rabbits?
01:16 Catching a rabbit is difficult.
01:18 Thank you very much.
01:19 If you need more rabbits, I'll bring you more.
01:21 Do you promise?
01:22 I promise.
01:23 You can be a loner as long as you like. There is no time limit.
01:30 Any romantic or sexual relations are punished.
01:34 We have to be totally synchronized.
01:40 Three, two...
01:43 You're like a brother to me.
01:46 Oh, you're my best friend in the whole world.
01:48 I don't think I'm your best friend in the whole world.
01:52 [Music]
01:54 Have you thought of what animal you'd like to be if you end up alone?
02:02 Yes, a lobster.
02:03 A lobster is an excellent choice.
02:05 If you encounter any problems you cannot resolve yourselves,
02:10 you will be assigned children. That usually helps.
