Eternally Younger Than Those Idiots

Horigai is 22 years old, about to graduate from university, and likes to play the fool. Her behaviour is just an act, however, to hide the fact that she’s still a virgin and terrified that she is about to become a social worker. When she meets the calm yet reserved Inogi (Nao) they form an unlikely bond, but their happiness is soon tested by dark revelations of abuse and suicide. Adapted from Tsumura Kikuko’s award-winning novel, Yoshino deftly counters his film’s dark themes with playful humour and a pair of charming female leads.
