Fortune Favours Lady Nikuko is the heartwarming and moving comedy-drama of an unconventional family — a not-so-ordinary mother-and-daughter pair who live their lives to the fullest. Easy-going, cheerful, passionate and always ready to eat something delicious, mother Nikuko falls hard for the bad guys. Her happy motto: “Ordinary is best of all!” Naturally Nikuko’s loud and bold spirit embarrasses 11-year-old Kikuko, her daughter on the verge of puberty. With nothing in common except living together on a boat at the port, a miracle occurs when their secret is revealed.

It is the latest film from STUDIO4°C, Japan based-production studio and creator of Poupelle of Chimney Town, Children of the Sea, Tekkonkinkreet and The Animatrix.
