THE FISH TALE, Toronto Premiere, TORONTO JAPANESE FILM FESTIVAL

“An excellent film, very easy to watch and proof that both Okita and Non are currently at the top of their game.”  – Asian Movie Pulse
Meebo has life-long obsession with sea creatures, spending school days reading a fish encyclopaedia, visiting the local aquarium octopus, and drawing detailed crustaceans instead of paying attention in class. Meebo dedicates his life to becoming a “fish expert” and drifts from failed job to failed job (at a sea park, at a sushi bar), struggling to figure out how to build a career around his passion. Meebo has an incredibly life-affirming spirit and is ready to share optimism.
Loosely based on the life of celebrity marine biologist Sakana-kun, this gentle fish-a-holic comedy-drama is “an instant cult favourite, it’s sure to charm the pants off just about everybody who encounters it” – thereelbits.com. Non was nominated for the Japanese Academy Award for her role.
Starring Non, Yuya Yagira, Kaho, Hayato Isomura
