“I’ve been single too long so maybe my cough sounds like a proposal.“

From the director and star of MAIKO HAAAN!!! comes NO MORE CRY!!!, a film about brothers separated during childhood;  one abandoned by his father and taken in by the owner of a ham cutlet stand, the other one half of a popular pair of fictional brothers who are entertainment sensations.

Yuta (Sadao Abe) is raised by Yama-chan, the revered ham cutler vendor, and as overcompensation for being abandoned, happily takes on every chore and errand for the surrounding shopkeepers.  Once fully grown, he assumes the role of Yama-chan, and brings great success to the shop. Meanwhile, Yusuke (Eita) lives a life of fame and wealth as half of The Kinjo Brothers, who perform a comedy act to screaming throngs of teenage girls.

When Yuta learns of his younger brother’s existence, he sets out to find Yusuke, but Yusuke’s fictional brother is writing a tell-all that is threatened by the existence of his real brother.  Mayhem ensues. And for such a bittersweet film, there is a lot of wacky humor to be found, some of it very dark.

The AFFD is very proud to present the U.S. premiere of NO MORE CRY!!!
