Futari no Shiso Gemu (1996)

Overview

Kohei (Nakamura Masatoshi), a trading company employee, receives an order from the company president to be seconded to Sakurai, an inn in Izu, to turn the business around. Accompanying him are two other employees: Kirino (Tanabe Seiichi), a young and cocky employee, and Yoshida (Kobayashi Katsuya), a veteran who is nearing retirement age. The three arrive at Sakurai with mixed feelings, but are met with resistance from the head waitress (Sugai Kin) and other waitresses. Despite the landlady's (Shino Hiroko) attempts to mediate, the rift only deepens... This comedic story depicts the struggles of these three unattractive men.
