Socratic Love

Socratic Love takes a look at the life of Hiro, an unpopular comedian who finds himself drifting away from his girlfriend, Kano. As Hiro spends more time with Satoyama, a seasoned comedian, Kano's world shifts when she receives a picture book during an interview with author Kaminuma. The book's themes echo the couple's troubled relationship.

As the tale unfolds, Kano imagines a happier ending, envisioning herself as a princess and Hiro as her king. The collision of the picture book's story and their reality creates a compelling narrative about love, dreams, and the complexity of relationships. This film, produced by the Tokyo University of the Arts, offers a unique perspective on modern love stories, making it a noteworthy entry in the comedy genre.
