Kazuko Hohki goes back to Tokyo with her band, the 'Frank Chickens', after living in England for 15 years. This wry and delightful film records her re-experiencing of Japan after a long absence, examining traditional attitudes to women and those of Kazuko's friends who are trying to live differently.
