Synopsis
editThe film follows the story of a young filmmaker named Kenji (Sakaguchi) and a heroine from a black and white film called Princess Miyuki (Ayase).[2] As an aspiring director, Kenji dreamed of meeting his favourite star of the bygone '60s retro film, Princess Miyuki. Kenji is attracted to Miyuki, who appears in monochrome while he resides in the colorful real world. Through a bizarre twist of fate, Miyuki jumps out of the silver screen and joins Kenji in a world filled with colour—and she's even ballsy[tone] off screen.[3][4]
