Out of the Blue

Directed by Junpei Suzuki

Always dressed in his plump satin jacket, Takuro hangs around with his no less plump buddies, but is essentially a good-natured and polite young man who quickly makes friends with strangers. Only when it comes to love does he seem to have no luck: He doesn't want to know anything about his admirer Hiroko and is constantly on the lookout for great love. In urban Tokyo, day in and day out, he meets a wide variety of, sometimes bizarre, characters. He is not lacking in variety, but he just seems to be treading on the spot in his life. But maybe true love isn't as far away as Takuro thinks...
