Additional information
Momoko is an ordinary girl, living an ordinary life. Ordinary, that is, if you
define ordinary as wearing elaborate lolita dresses from the Rococo period in
18th Century France. A complete fish out of water in her rural and sleepy
Japanese town, where everyone buys their clothes (and everything else) at
the same store and no one understands her, Momoko's life is one of
sugared sweets and frilly treats. Desperate to make some money to pay for
her expensive indulgence, Momoko tries selling bootleg Ver*ace and
Uni*ersal Studios clothes left over from her Dad's yakuza (gangster) days.
However, when punk girl and self-styled 'Yanki' Ichiko comes calling, her
days as 'ordinary' are most certainly numbered... Road movie, buddy
comedy, deeply insightful and surprisingly touching, the surreal world only
further highlights the all too real friendship that brings these two unlikely girls
together.
