About This DVD
Following up on the phenomenal success of his Love Letter and Swallowtail
Butterfly, Shunji Iwai spins this sweet tale about a young lass' first steps in
the bustle of the big city. Uzuki Nireno (Takako Matsu) is leaving her rural
home in the snowy north of Hokkaido for college in Western Tokyo. Her transition
to big city life isn't easy, she muffed her self-introduction in class and she
had an unfortunate incident in a movie theater with an overly solicitous
pervert. In spite of this, she starts to feel settled after she unpacks and
after she explores her neighborhood. She also befriends tough talking Saeko (Rumi)
who invites her to join the school's fishing club. Though she initially has no
interest in the pursuit, she soon is practicing her cast in a parking lot as
upper classman lavish her with attention. Uzuki, however, is not interested.
When she was in high school, she fell for hunky classmate (Seiichi Tanabe) who
just so happens to be working in a local bookshop. Will she summon the courage
to say 'hi'?
