Kumija Kim

U-in, a young and awkward young Korean man, is unlucky in love. Enamoured with a prickly redhead, he finds someone who matches her description online. Aya, a Japanese girl who recently has had to move back in with her parents after the death of her grandmother, dreams of getting away from her life, and puts money to achieve this goal.

Director Kazuo Hara tells the tale of the eponymous Chika and four different relationships she has during the turbulent political climate of the 1970s. Four different actresses play the role of Chika in order to emphasise the different ways she is perceived by her husband, a teacher, a student and an aging gangster. (imdb)
