103 min.

Momoko yearns to be part of the Rococo aristocracy. A shame then, as she was born 200 years too late. Born into the Yakuza heartland, she feels, more at home in Versaille than her remote hometown of Shimotsuma, Ibaraki. Her appetite for the lavish doll-like fashion known to its disciples as the “Lolita” look is insatiable. The rebel Ichiko is a Bosozoku motorcycle-gang member on a 50cc scooter. Her Ponytails gang is one of Ibaraki’s “wild speed tribes”, whose teeth-rattling customized bikes are decked out with their fibreglass shields and bannered backrests. She, too, is decked out in her elaborately decorated Tokkofuku boiler-suits. In a world as colorful as Momoko’s sweet-filled lunchbox, the path of these two incongruous girls cross one languid summer.

What is unhappiness? All girls dream of living the life of a princess. Matsuko Kawajiri, born in 1947, was one of them. But after losing her job as a teacher in her twenties, and leaving her families’ home in disgrace, she departs on a journey of colorful ups and downs that takes her to the seedier side of life. No matter if she gets hurt time and time again, the man she loves is always central to the dreams of her life. Anyone else would think that her life is miserable, but Matsuko is always optimistic and never lets go of her dream to the end, in this funny but sad Cinderella story!
