Everyone deserves to be themself.

“Sakananoko” (139 min.) Director: Shuichi Okita

Never change, it’ll all be alright. . A story of how we move forward, even if we get a bit lost or hurt along the way.Our protagonist Mee-bo isn’t perfect and can struggle with everyday things. But what is ‘normal’ anyway? What matters more than fitting in is discovering your own path and following it, ‘guided by love and kindness from people’, Sakana-kun did just that.
The crazy life story of Sakana-kun is well known, but have you considered, maybe there is a Mee-bo in all of us? A story for everyone, children to grownups!
