Pieta in the Toilet

Both movies were written and directed by the same person, besides that on the surface they dont look like they have much in common. However, both movies discuss themes of love, both have sad elements and in both theres an age gap between the characters.

One of the best bittersweet movies I've seen. The premise is fairly the same of an artist (of a different genre) with a neurological condition meeting a young female student. In both stories the characters learn more about themselves and the true meaning of love and life.

Japanese Latin dance champion Suzuki Shinya and Japanese standard dance champion Sugiki Shinya are both famous dancers. Although they are in different fields, their names differ by only one letter. Suzuki, who hates to lose, is irritated by being compared to the other dancer. One day, Sugiki suddenly invites Suzuki to "aim to be champion together in 10 Dances." 10 Dances is a competitive dance where dancers who have mastered both Latin and standard dance compete in a total of 10 dances. Suzuki initially refuses Sugiki's proposal to teach each other and aim for the top because it seems too reckless. However, he is overwhelmed by Sugiki's provocative and competitive attitude and accepts in anger. The two are polar opposites in terms of personality and everything and they clash, but as they take lessons every day, they work hard together and gradually close the gap. Then, Suzuki gradually realizes that he is starting to be attracted to Sugiki.
