In their second year of high school, Yuri Nishina (So Okuno), Shin "Maya" Mayama (Rintaro Mizusawa), Mashiro "Shiro" Kagami (Eito Konishi), and Aoi Shida (Maito Fujioka) are four friends known for their good looks and complete lack of ambition. They form the "Useless Club," dedicating themselves to wasting time and uploading silly stunts on social media while vowing never to fall in love. When they decide to try an experiment from a manga - running with bread in their mouths to potentially spark romance - they unknowingly set the stage for unexpected encounters and potential consequences. Their ridiculous challenge leads them across the school grounds, setting up a potentially life-changing moment that might just challenge their carefully cultivated attitude of indifference. Adapted from the manga series "Talking Nonsense About Love" by Ryoko Fukuyama, "36,000 Seconds in a Day" is a 2022 Japanese romantic comedy drama directed by Junta Yamaguchi, Ayuta Yoshikawa, and Miyako Yasoshima.
