Hiroshi Tanaka sports an intense perm which looks like the afro hairstyle favored by some African-Americans back in the 1970's. He doesn't get his hair done at a hair shop, he was actually born with his hair like that. For freedom, Hiroshi moves to Tokyo. He works hard there and, even though he turns 24, he still doesn't have a girlfriend.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative around the contrast between the protagonist's eccentric appearance and his inner vulnerability, using comedic setups to explore a deeply personal drama. It relies on the lead actor's nuanced performance to convey loneliness and hope without sentimentality.

What lingers after the credits is a surprisingly tender feeling, a reminder that true connection lies beneath the surface. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Daigo Matsui
