Nobuhiro YAMASHITA 山下敦弘
No One's Ark
Nippon Cinema ª
Daisuke and his girlfriend Hisako return to smalltown life, trying to peddle an obnoxious health drink called "Akajiro" but family, ex-girlfriends and new rivals do not make things easier. Hilariously precise dry humor and the economic slump make for perfect partners in this ode to eternal losers.
