So you’re in the mood for love and devastation but you don’t want to leave the internet? Neither does anyone else! Especially when you’re a nerdy teen filled with oh-so painful emotions(!)
To be a teenager is no longer fun in the land of the rising sun. Sweet Hasumi is plagued with equal detriment by sharing a one room apartment with his entire family, falling completely in love with an international pop star and enduring daily torture from his once best friend – turned school yard bully, Hoshino. Fun times for gentle Hasumi who can only escape in the all-encompassing nothingness that is the internet. There, he is web master of a fan site dedicated to pop love, Lily Chou-Chou. Bjork-like in her wailings, Lily is the only one who is really there for nerdish Hasumi, after his homework is stolen, his class crush is sexually assaulted, and a gang of bullies defiles any other sacred items he may have. If you’re looking for action and adventure and some shock you have come to the right film. If you are looking for melancholy contemplation you’ve struck gold as well.
