Transfer Student

Kazuo and Kazumi were childhood sweethearts. Now Kazumi, who has been living abroad for many years, returns to her hometown and becomes a transfer student. A childhood sweetheart relationship is about to happen. It's just a mysterious incident that changes everything. The two's growing bodies are swapped, and the physical and mental confusion they face is doubled. It was originally a children's literature work with a strong meaning of sex education, but after being adapted to the screen, it became a light youth story. There is no pretense to sell gender differences, but an indescribable nostalgia. The first work of Obayashi Nobuhiko's "Onomichi Trilogy", the director who started out in commercials watched the filming of "Tokyo Story" here when he was fifteen years old. No wonder the black and white scenes interspersed in the film are very familiar. (Summer International Film Festival)
