What happens

è un film giapponese del 2004. In un remoto paese di campagna arriva una misteriosa ragazza: nessuno sa niente di lei, a parte il fatto che si chiama Jennifer e che non conosce neanche una parola di giapponese. La ragazza inizia a interessarsi di Takashi, un ragazzo emarginato dagli altri abitanti del posto perché considerato un poco di buono. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
