“From acclaimed director Ayumu Watanabe (Children of the Sea) and STUDIO4°C (Tekkonkinkreet, Mind Game) comes a heartwarming and moving comedy-drama with touches of magical realism. Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko is about an unconventional family and the bonds that they share in their sleepy seaside town.
 
Brash single mother Nikuko is well-known for her bold spirit, much to the embarrassment of Kikuko, her pensive yet imaginative daughter. In contrast to her mother, Kikuko wants nothing more than to fit in as she navigates the everyday social dramas of middle school. Life in the harbor is peaceful until a shocking revelation from the past threatens to uproot the pair’s tender relationship.”

Studio 4°C is known for animated films Children of the Sea, Tekkonkinkreet, Mind Game, and MFKZ. Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko director Ayumu Watanabe is known for Children of the Sea, Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Dinosaur, and Space Brothers.
