OZLAND
A working-life entertainment that puts a little magic in your hustle.

Kurumi Namihira lands her dream job at the same prestigious hotel chain as her boyfriend, full of excitement and hope for the future— until she’s unexpectedly assigned to Greenland, a local amusement park run by a subsidiary company. Frustrated and disheartened, Kurumi begins her new role reluctantly. But surrounded by eccentric coworkers and a mysterious, charismatic boss named Yoshihiko Kozuka—nicknamed “The Wizard”—her days start to change. Slowly, she discovers the fun, purpose, and satisfaction that come with working from the heart.
One day, just as she begins to feel something—maybe admiration, maybe love—for Kozuka, Kurumi uncovers his secret… Through relatable workplace struggles and unexpected inspiration, Kurumi learns what it truly means to love your work. Set behind the scenes of an amusement park—more magical than you ever imagined—this is the feel-good work-life comedy you’ve been waiting for!

A Lovable, Down-to-Earth Heroine Is Born!

Kurumi Namihira—nicknamed “Namihei”—is played by Haru, marking her first leading role in a feature film since starring in NHK’s hit morning drama Asa ga Kita. With delicate sensitivity and precise control, Haru delivers a remarkable performance as a young woman who transforms from flailing and frustrated to confident and fulfilled. Her mysterious “wizard-like” boss, Yoshihiko Kozuka, is portrayed by Hidetoshi Nishijima. Known for his cool and serious screen persona, Nishijima charms in a refreshing turn as a slightly quirky, warm-hearted mentor—full of humor and unexpected smiles. The film also boasts a stellar supporting cast: Amane Okayama, Mari Hamada, Ai Hashimoto, and Akira Emoto bring life to the colorful employees of Greenland, while Kurumi’s long-distance boyfriend, Toshi-kun, is played by the ever-popular Tomoya Nakamura.
