Greengrocer Haruzo Horikoshi (Bengal) was just trying to keep his store in the Tokyo suburbs afloat when an impoverished Chinese exchange student came in-and asked for a price break so he could afford to eat. Having given in, Haruzo finds himself swarmed by the kid's similarly situated classmates-and has to weigh his bottom line against becoming a newfound father figure. Nobuhiko Obayashi's humanistic, fact-inspired charmer co-stars Masako Motai. 135 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Japanese; Subtitles: English; featurette; theatrical trailers. In Japanese with English subtitles.
