The giver, the recipient, the occasion: every present holds a story.
Presents - Uni Senbei is the second title in a series of films based on Kakuta Mitsuyo's short story collection revolving around the theme of presents. While the first short film,
Presents - Aikagi starring Hirosue Ryoko, was a quiet drama about heartbreak and remembrance,
Uni Senbei is a colorful romantic comedy featuring rising stars Toda Erika from
Death Note: The Last Name and Hiraoka Yuta from
Swing Girls. Music video director Ishii Takahide brings a vibrant pop sensibility to his debut feature, creating a lighthearted confection about romance and growing up.
An OL (office lady) at a stationery manufacturer, Hazuki (Toda Erika) is less than enamoured with this whole working thing. Meanwhile, her boyfriend Satoshi (Hiraoka Yuta) is still in college, a fifth-year student who just can't seem to graduate. With the two living in different worlds, Hazuki breaks things off and begins to see the older and more mature Yasuda (Kikawada Masaya, Battle Royale II). They spend Valentine's Day together, exchanging the standard gifts of chocolate and jewelry. That night when Hazuki returns home, she opens her mailbox and inside lies a present from Satoshi...
