German + Ame

[Machine Translation] With the best protagonist ever, "The Birth of a Whole New Talent! The first theatrical release of Satoko Yokohama, a new director who is highly anticipated from all quarters. Yoshiko has come to town! Gorilla face, pushy, selfish, and a loner all her life. Yoshiko Hayashi is 16 years old. She lives alone in a shabby one-story house and doesn't go to school. She is neither beautiful nor loved by others. To others, she is just unhappy. On the contrary, Yoshiko never turns her head down. She works as an apprentice gardener. Although there is a cool German guy, he calls her "Gorilla Man" every day, and the master carpenter beats her up. Yoshiko's dream is to become a singer. Her songs are all original. She composes her songs on her flute and starts a flute class for the neighborhood kids. The songs are based on the traumas of each and every one of the people around her! A country town, a botton latrine, a four-leaf clover, a schoolboy who wants to be a woman, a serious dodgeball game, a German.... Through it all, Yoshiko runs through town today! The reality in front of her is not always kind. But Yoshiko pushes through all the deceptions and dives into the world with her bare body! Laughing at recent Japanese films that depict personal traumas and bring tears to the eyes, this is finally a "Japanese film that doesn't turn inward"!
