Shuichi Miura

Fumie returns to her room where she lives alone as if she is escaping from someone. She immediately takes off the underwear she was wearing and washes it. You stink. She sniffs her washed panties, curious about what the stranger has just said to her. At the cinema where she works part-time, a colleague, a projectionist, stalks her, and Fumie's heart slowly begins to race. The film is a more eloquent and naked account of women's lives and their true feelings about menstruation. The film is a raw but lyrical portrayal of body odour, vomiting and other things that everyone tries to hide, as well as the fragile friendship between women, which leaves a strange aftertaste after watching.

The Tokyo Tower is a symbol that has become an indispensable part of the Tokyo landscape, even if it is said to be an imitation of the Eiffel Tower. The story of Yumiko, who comes from Wakayama on a school trip to Tokyo, also revolves around this symbol. Yumiko is 17 years old and in love with a classmate. Three years later, Yumiko's love blooms again in this city at the age of 20... This is a movie "by girls for girls", with the sharp point of view of a female director, which exposes the cuteness and ugliness of women through the simple, pure and honest protagonist, without any pretence. Yumiko runs around the screen in a cheerful yellow voice, explaining the subtle psychology of a girl in love.
