About

Giuseppe dives into one passion after another until he meets Pechka, a quiet balloon seller, and wants only to make her happy.

Giuseppe dives into one passion after another. One moment he takes singing lessons, the next he studies insects, plays private investigator or does embroidery, and he wears striking sunglasses and talks to mice. Then, one day in the park, he meets Pechka, a quiet balloon seller. Something about her makes him pause. His obsessions slide into the background and he is left with a single aim: making her happy. Masaya Sano voices Giuseppe and Moka Kamishiraishi voices Pechka. The Japanese film is an animated musical.

Based on Toritsukare Otoko
