Seishun Kaidan

[Machine Translation] This is Izumi Ashikawa's first film with Nikkatsu. Starring Satoshi Yamamura and Mie Kitahara, this humanistic comedy depicts love, friendship, lust, jealousy, and longing. The relationship between Chiharu, a virile ballerina, and Shinichi, a financier, is more akin to friendship than romance, partly because they have known each other since childhood. They had planned to get married eventually, but a woman named Tomi appears in front of them, seduces Shinichi, and they open a bar together. Chiharu is so worried about Shinichi that she is unable to devote herself to ballet, and is harshly criticized by the ballet company's leader, Ms. Ashino. Furthermore, she is told about Shinichi and Tomi's recent situation by her junior colleague, Shinko, known as "Shinde," who calls Chiharu "big sister" and is abnormally affectionate toward her, and she becomes even more deeply distressed...
