One wild night on the streets of Kyoto as a student plans the perfect meet-cute from the irrepressible anime auteur, Masaaki Yuasa.

A young student dreams of orchestrating the perfect romantic meet-cute with his crush, The Girl With the Black Hair, and searches for her across town. 

Meanwhile, the girl herself has a series of strange encounters with local characters as she roams through an abstract, bustling night in Kyoto – taking in everything from pub crawls to book fairs to impromptu musical happenings.

Director Masaaki Yuasa is a true maverick of Japanese animation, and this colourful caper is the perfect canvas for his freewheeling, eccentric and exuberant animation style.
