Yuichi is in the 8th grade and worships Lily Chou-Chou, a Bjork-like chanteuse whose music is lush and transcendent ñ the perfect tool to escape the pain and anxiety that fills his brutal life in Japan. At home, Yuichi rarely leaves his room, spending all his time in the chat room of Lily Chou-Chou's fan website, but little by little, the reality of Yuichi's offline life becomes unbearable when he is ensnared in a nightmare of teenage prostitution, petty theft, and possible murder. (official distributor synopsis)
