Life isn't easy for a group of high school kids growing up absorbed in Japan's pervasive pop/cyberculture. As they negotiate teen badlands- school bullies, parents from another planet, lurid snapshots of sex and death- these everyday rebels without a cause seek sanctuary, even salvation, through pop star savior Lily Chou-Chou, embracing her sad, dreamy songs and sharing their fears and secrets in Lilyholic chat rooms. Immersed in the speed of everyday troubles, their lives inevitably climax in a fatal collision between real and virtual identities, a final logging-off from innocence.
All About Lily Chou-Chou follows two boys, Shunsuke Hoshino and Yuichi Hasumi, from the start of junior high school when they first meet and into second grade. The film has a discontinuous storyline, starting midway through the story, just after the second term of junior high school begins, then flashes back to the first term and summer vacation, and then skips back to the present.

Both movies are about a girl who is detached from the world and doesn't really give much for anything but herself and her possessions (or so it may seem). They have a chance-encounter and things take a turn, for Lui it being stuck in a weird love-triangle, for Rio it might just be the strange relationship she got herself into not knowing if this is 'it'. They're both kind of indie movies, not your everyday cookies, with a good dash of psychology in them. You shouldn't shy away from some adult themes in both movies.
