Silent Film Narrator

A hundred years ago, black-and-white silent films were all the rage in Japan, captivating both adults and children. Shuntaro (played by Ryo Narita) often sneaks into theaters to eavesdrop on free movies; whether they are domestic or foreign films, he can always imitate the narrator's tone perfectly. Being a 'narrator' has been Shuntaro's dream since childhood, but as he grew up, he became a 'fake narrator,' diverting the audience's attention so that thieves can slip in unnoticed. During one nearly botched attempt, he escapes with stolen money to a small-town theater called 'Aoki-kan.' In the theater, there are narrators of various styles: a drunken narrator, a pretty boy narrator, and a chubby narrator, among others. Along with the projectionist, musicians, and a stingy couple who own the place, he explores the behind-the-scenes world of movies. However, a group of thieves and passionate police are hot on his heels, and his first love from childhood, with whom he used to watch movies, also shows up. Additionally, there's a newly opened fashionable theater in town, where the owner's daughter has fallen madly in love with him. Where will Shuntaro's youthful romance lead?
