Like the colors of the rainbow, these stories are full of variety, and everyone will see them in a different way. The heroine of Ituiro is a teenager who discovers the boy she likes is gay. Watch out for the youthful, realistic portrayal of campus life by a director who is still at university herself. Seijun loves hearing-impaired Mika but at the same time is unable to break it off with her abusive ex-boyfriend. You'll be dazzled by the expressiveness of Mika's sign language in Mika and Seijun. The heroine of What Ever Happened to Ms.MACHIKO? will do anything for the man she is having an affair with. One day a queen appears before Machiko with slave in tow, and casts a magic spell... "Stereotype Company" is a slapstick romp surrounding pills that supposedly make one straight. You'll love the heroes of this film as they use their Kansai humor and positive attitude to make gay and lesbian worries disappear. In the competition after the screening, the audience will choose the best of the four works. Come along and join us in the hunt for new talent!
