Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko (2021)
Directed by Ayumu Watanabe, 97 minutes
Brash single mother Nikuko is well-known for her bold spirit, much to the embarrassment of Kikuko, her pensive yet imaginative daughter. In contrast to her mother, Kikuko wants nothing more than to fit in as she navigates the everyday social dramas of middle school. Life in the harbor is peaceful until a shocking revelation threatens to uproot the pair's tender relationship.
