Simsons

In 'Simsons,' a group of three girls who lack curling skills join forces in Northern Japan, where the local culture celebrates both scallops and curling. The film showcases their journey as they attempt to improve their game under the guidance of a seemingly inept coach. Through this experience, they not only learn about curling but also about themselves and the bonds of friendship.

The setting plays an important role, as the town's identity is tied to the sport. The film explores themes of effort, shame, and puppy love, making it relatable beyond just the sport itself. With a cast featuring Rosa Kato, Mina Fujii, Seiko Iwaido, Nanase Hoshii, Yo Oizumi, and Kei Tanaka, the comedic elements blend with heartfelt moments, providing a unique take on sports and camaraderie in a small community.
