Synopsis
Naoya vit sa vie d'homosexuel, replié sur lui-même, accompagné par ce sentiment étrange que quelque chose manque à sa vie. Par hasard, il rencontre Katsuhiro et en tombe immédiatement amoureux. Tous deux commencent à se fréquenter quand apparaît Asako, une jeune femme qui propose à Katsuhiro de faire un enfant. Naoya, ne pouvant envisager une telle chose, est agacé par Katsuhiro, par son caractère indécis et la façon dont il dissimule son homosexualité. Le frère de Katsuhiro et sa belle-sœur choisissent ce moment difficile pour leur rendre visite. Cette dernière est en effet préoccupée par le risque de dispersion des biens de la famille : elle connaît le passé d'Asako et cherche à mettre un terme à sa relation avec Katsuhiro.Actors

A psychological drama about love, longing, homosexual desire and psychological turmoil—i.e., the perils of puberty. Ito is a shy boy in the top class at secondary school. He feels attracted to his classmate and best friend Yoshida, who is not aware of Ito's intimate feelings. They spend much time with Kanbara, whose comic actions hide his sensitive nature. Aihara (Ayumi Hamasaki) is new at school and remains aloof with her cool attitude. No one knows that at her previous school she was raped and is now in therapy. Meanwhile, Yoshida, who is currently involved with the insecure Shimizu, is interested in Aihara, the mysterious new girl. It is obvious that each teen is hiding behind a wall which they must break through during this tough process of maturation.

Amane (Kazuya Takahashi) is a regular office worker who is bored with life. His girlfriend Juri (Natsue Yoshimura) pressures him to continue the relationship to the next level. However, he is not happy in their relationship. One day as he is driving he hits a woman who was walking on the road. She is taken to the hospital where she eventually recovers. Guilty of what he's done, Amane tells her to let him repay him for the accident, but she declines and disappears from the hospital. Obsessed, he finally finds her one night at a nightclub and learns that her name is Hanabusa. He also learns that the nightclub is for transvestites and that Hanabusa (Kumiko Takeda) is a hermaphrodite. Amane is disgusted at first, but goes along with it the rest of the night. Amane still wants to see Hanabusa and they have sex one night. Hanabusa shows Amane on how to be the perfect partner in sex both on top and bottom. Satisfied with this, Amane breaks up with Juri and both Hanabusa and Amane fall in love. Juri is upset and tries to confront Hanabusa, but ends up sleeping with her through the night. The next morning, Juri (while having enjoyed that she slept with Hanabusa) is even more angry at Amane and has sex with one of his co-workers, Takayanagi (Kunihiko Ida). Meanwhile, Amane and Hanabusa drive to Amane's hometown and purposes that they would meet his family. However, Hanabusa tells him to pull over. Amane is confused by this and states that he want to take their relationship to the next level. Hanabusa does not want to and suggest that they break up. Amane confronts her and angrily states that there is no place for someone like her. She responds by telling him to run over her again. They sit silently in the car, as Amane is trying to start the car. But is angry and upset at all this and tells Hanabusa that he is lonely and desperately in love with her. Hanabusa says that they should just end their relationship. Takayanagi later reveals to Amane that he slept with Juri half-way and suggests that he and Juri make-up. But Amane tells him that he is better off not seeing her or Hanabusa. But in reality, he is more depressed and alone. The next morning, Hanabusa is walking and finds Amane sitting in the snow. He gives back the heel from one of her shoes and leaves. But Hanabusa stops him and realizes that they should be lovers and mend their relationship. Then, Juri finds out that her period is late and uses this as a way to get back together with Amane and tries to push him into marrying her. However, Amane and Hanabusa believes she is lying, which makes her upset and she leaves. She later leaves a message on his voice-mail, threatening to commit suicide by drug overdose, blaming Amane for leaving her and pleading to him to come back to her one more time. The last scene in the film is Hanabusa and Amane visiting a now comatose Juri in the hospital. Amane says that all of this is ending, while Hanabusa remarks that it is not the end, but just the beginning.

Set in a Baltimore neighborhood known for having the thickest local accent, Pecker tells the story of an unassuming 18-year-old who works in a sandwich shop and takes photos of his loving but peculiar family and friends on the side. Pecker, so named for his childhood habit of "pecking" at his food, stumbles into fame when his work is "discovered" by a savvy New York art dealer, Rorey Wheeler. Pecker's pictures, taken with a cheap Canon Canonet 28, are grainy, out-of-focus studies of unglamorous subjects, but they strike a chord with New York art collectors.
