March 8, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Come join a free screening, hosted by the students of JAPN 418, of the Japanese film Mentai Piriri.
Based on a true story, this movie is set in the 1950s (post-war period) and follows Toshiyuki and his wife, Chiyoko, who run a small grocery store in Fukuoka City. Toshiyuki believes that his mentaiko (fish roe usually served salted and spiced with red pepper) could bring happiness to the people around him. Follow a story about how a man used mentaiko to connect people, while also facing many failures and hardships along the way.
