Synopsis
Dolls
Dolls takes puppeteering as its overriding motif, which relates thematically to the action provided by the live characters. Chief among those tales is the story of Matsumoto and Sawako, a young couple whose relationship is about to be broken apart by the former's parents, who have insisted their son take part in an arranged marriage to his boss' daughter.
Minamahal
An introverted high school flower enthusiast tries to win the affection of a love-hating visual artist by giving her flowers during key moments of her life. The movie follows their on-and-off friendship and romance from high school up until college, when the realities of life begin to unfold.
