The Hardness of Avocado

The moody Mizuki is convinced that he and Shimi will get back together after a month. Until then, he finds distraction in an actress in his circle. Jo's indie drama, a true slice of life, is based on the experiences of lead actor Mizuki Maehara and "is a story of inertia and adolescent denial. Its hero is in search of the happy medium, trying to grasp the avocado at the right moment - between rock-hard and mushy - but floundering in a world that is both perpetually confusing and perhaps inherently unfair."
