Synopsis

Dubbed a “Japanese masala,” this “multi-ethnic mix of spices” ( Japan Society ) from Nobuhiko Obayashi (HAUSU) crafts a subtle dish out of the tale of a Japanese greengrocer whose encounter with an annoying customer leads him to lend a hand to poor exchange students from China. Inspired by true events.
