Sawako Decides (Japanese, DVD)

Quirky Japanese comedy about a working class woman who decides to change her life through sheer willpower. Mitsushima Hikari stars as Sawako, a small-town girl who ran away from home to Tokyo five years ago but whose dreams have come to nothing. Stuck in a dead end job and disillusioned with love after a string of hopeless men, she returns with her co-worker and boyfriend-of-sorts Kenichi (Endo Masashi) to her home town to help out at her father's clam-packing factory after he is taken ill. There she decides to re-invent the business and overcome the mediocrities of her life, even if the change is by necessity one of attitude rather than circumstance.
