Simsons
Four Japanese girls, 3 totally inept at the sport, come together to form a curling team in Northern Japan. The town is famous for scallops and curling, and peoples' status in this little fishing village is based on their curling abilities. The girls do little, until a seemingly inept coach teaches them about the game, and about themselves. In the end, they pull it all together to become an adequate team. In the process, they discover the true meaning of friendship, effort, shame and puppy love.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its narrative on the juxtaposition of small-town monotony and youthful energy, using curling as a metaphor for finding one's footing. It relies on a classic sports formula but explores it through the lens of female camaraderie and adolescent anxieties, sidestepping overt sentimentality.
Those who tire of high-stakes dramas will find a gentle, earnest comedy where victory is measured in gained confidence and forged bonds. What lingers after is a sense of lightness and a genuine smile. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Yuichi Satoh
