1965 Coal mining town in northern Japan is facing economic decline. They decide to use local hot springs to build a Hawaiian-themed resort. So...they need hula girls. They hire a dancer to train local girls...a very controversial plan in this backward area.
A bit like The Full Monty and Billy Eliot. At times quite moving...at others hopelessly maudlin. Even though it was predictable and flawed by the usual over-egging I enjoyed watching it for what it was.
