Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko + Deiji Meets Girl PG
From acclaimed director Ayumu Watanabe (Children of the Sea) and STUDIO4°C (Tekkonkinkreet, Mind Game) comes a heart-warming and moving comedy-drama with touches of magical realism. Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko is about an unconventional family and the bonds that they share in their sleepy seaside town.
Brash single mother Nikuko
is well-known for her bold spirit, much to the embarrassment of Kikuko, her
pensive yet imaginative daughter. In contrast to her mother, Kikuko wants
nothing more than to fit in as she navigates the everyday social dramas of
middle school. Life in the harbour is peaceful until a shocking revelation from
the past threatens to uproot the pair’s tender relationship.
Screenings of Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko will be preceded by a special preview of an eye-catching short series from Ushio Tazawa (Your Name.), the charming Deiji Meets Girl.
