Dawn Wind In My Poncho

ポンチョに夜明けの風はらませて

Nippon Cinema   ª 

Matahachi, Jin and Jumbo are on a roadtrip in a shiny white Toyota Celsior; neither the car nor the boys will be the same after this. It’s their last trip before they part after graduation. Adventurous feelings and absurd comedy are mashed up with serious questions about identity and the future.
