Product Description

Is there anything on Earth worth saving?

Award-winning director Yoshida Daihachi ( The Kirishima Thing, Pale Moon) adapts Mishima Yukios 1962 sci-fi novel Utsukushii Hoshi into the eccentric comedy-drama A Beautiful Star. Lily Franky, Kamenashi Kazuya, Hashimoto Ai & Nakajima Tomoko star as a family of four that become aware theyre not of this planet. Updating the subtext of Mishimas Cold War-era novel to the modern day, A Beautiful Star poses serious questions about the future of humanity through its seemingly outlandish story.

Weathercaster Shigeichiro (Lily Franky), his wife Iyoko (Nakajima Tomoko) & their two children, ambitious part-timer Kazuo (Kamenashi Kazuya) & college student Akiko (Hashimoto Ai), seem like a normal family. Then one day, Shigeichiro, Kazuo & Akiko suddenly realize that they are extraterrestrials entrusted with the mission of protecting the Earth & stars. Once awakened to their true selves, they struggle with all their might to achieve their mission, but their actions may only cause hurt & commotion.
