おろしや国酔夢譚

As I was in Osaka University, I saw the last scene of the Japanese-Soviet movie "おろしや国酔夢譚" (The Dreams of Russia): the protagonist returns to Japan. He looks back over the Sea in the direction of Russia and feels, his whole journey to Russia were just a dream.

I also looked above the Osakian roofs, somewhere far away was Russia, the country I was born, And I had the same feeling.

Life is but a dream.
