Permanent Nobara
ComedyDramaRomance100 min
After her divorce, Naoko returns to her hometown with her young daughter and moves back in with her mother, who runs the town’s only beauty parlor. The shop doubles as the center of local gossip, where women pass the time swapping dirty jokes and stories about their bad luck with men, while Naoko keeps a secret of her own: she’s seeing her former teacher, Kashima. Miho Kanno leads Naoko’s homecoming, and Mari Natsuki is part of the ensemble that turns the salon into a busy, intimate portrait of small-town female friendship.
