Handsome Suit
Screening Tuesday 6 September at 6.30pm@ The Mercury
If all you had to do to become really handsome was put on a special suit, would you do it?
Takuro (Muga Tsukaji), our ugly main character with a heart of gold and humour, works as a chef in his mother’s diner and falls in love with beautiful part-time worker, Hiroko (Keiko Kitagawa). Not surprisingly, he’s rejected when he confesses his love.
Takuro firmly believes the reason for his rejection is his looks. Before even considering plastic surgery, he meets a salesman flogging the ‘Handsome Suit’.
Thus begins his double life as the gorgeous model, Annin Hikariyama and the unappealing chef, Takuro.
