A Story of Yonosuke

横道世之介

Yonosuke arrives at university in the late 80's when Japan was booming and the economy was raining cash. Hopelessly naive, and hopelessly self-confident, he comes to the big city and annoys everyone. But slowly he finds a group of friends and then the movie jumps forward 20 years and then...to tell any more would ruin the surprise, but this is a heartfelt movie that sings the song of the seeming loser.
