YesAsia Editorial Description

Three years after Nabbie's Love, writer-director Nakae Yuji offers another delightful comedy set on the balmy island of Okinawa. Based on Nakasone Miiko's same-titled manga, Hotel Hibiscus sees the world through the eyes of an adventurous young girl. Bright, sunny, and wholly enjoyable, the film follows young Mieko, portrayed by Kurashita Honami, on her episodic summer capers like her trip to the pineapple fields and her search for a spirit on the US military base. Then of course there's the daily comings and goings of her very eccentric and very international family - her brother is African-American and her sister is Caucasian - and their rundown "hotel" which has only one guest room. Co-starring Yo Kimiko, Wada Toshihiro, singer Teruya Masao, and Nabbie's Love grandma Taira Tomi, Hotel Hibiscus's humorous and heartwarming romp through Mieko's long and hot summer has the pleasant, lolling atmosphere and childhood magic of a live-action Ghibli film.

Comes with making of and previews.

「ナビィの恋」の中江裕司監督が、再び沖縄を舞台に描くハートフルな物語。仲宗根みいこの同名漫画を原作に、小学3年生のオテンバ娘・美恵子の冒険と成長を、温かく描いている。元気いっぱいに美恵子を演じるのは、3000人以上の沖縄の小学生の中から選ばれた蔵下穂波。NHK「ちゅらさん」で人気者となった平良とみ、沖縄民謡歌手の照屋政雄といった沖縄の人々と、余貴美子らベテラン俳優陣の絶妙なコンビネーションも見どころである。眩しい太陽、抜けるような青空、そして三線の響きと、郷土色豊かに描かれた、すべての人を魅了する心温まる一作。
