Product Description

Set on a small island in Okinawa, the quirky 1999 comedy Nabbies Love (a.k.a. Nabbie no Koi) revolves around an elderly womans 60-year love. Winning Nakae Yuji ( Hotel Hibiscus) a Best Director award at the Japanese Professional Movie Awards, this film takes a humored look at how one spunky grandmas pursuit of love upturns life in a small village community. Acclaimed veteran actress & Okinawa native Taira Tomi stars as the eponymous heroine Nabbie. Noborikawa Seijin plays her on-screen husb&, while real-life husband Taira Susumu plays her lover. Nishida Naomi ( Climbers High) won Best Supporting Actress at the Hochi Film Awards & the Yokohama Film Festival for her turn as Nabbies granddaughter. Backed by balmy island scenery & a jaunty score by Isoda Kenichiro & Michael Nyman, Nabbies Love is a short, sweet, & delightful ode to living live to the fullest at any age.

Quitting her job in Tokyo, Nanako (Nishida Naomi) returns to her hometown in Okinawa where her family still lives. Life in Okinawa is quiet, relaxing, & free of drama, until Nanako discovers that her grandmother Nabbie (Taira Tomi) is having an affair! Nabbies illicit relationship with ferry captain Sunra (Taira Susumu) is a shock not only to the family, but to the whole village community. The village clan decides that Nabbie must cut off contact with Sunra who is no longer welcome on the isl&. But Nabbie, who was forced to separate from her true love sixty years ago, isnt about to give up so easily this time.

Comes with trailer & director & cast message.
