Synopsis
Lovely Complex
Koizumi Risa an unusually tall high school girl, meets the "vertically challenged" young man Otani Atsushi. They find common ground in height anxieties and interests. Risa, a tall Japanese girl, gets rejected by a boy because she is taller than him. Otani, a short Japanese guy, gets rejected by a girl because he is shorter than her. Obviously these two would make the oddest of couples and would never be a good match for each other right?
Love's Second Act
Jamie is a filmmaker who needs inspiration to finish her screenplay after a studio buys the pitch. She finds it in ex-boyfriend, Nick, who still works at the small town movie theater where they both first fell in love.
