About Monzetsu hikô: Nikushin
A young woman loves airplanes, and while working part-time at a coffee shop at a local airport, she dreams of one day being free to fly. She lives a simple and fulfilling life with her colleagues at the airport, although she is by no means wealthy. One day, the wealthy men that leave their private Cessnas at the airport call out to her, saying that if she likes airplanes so much, they will give her a ride...
Directed by Banmei Takahashi, Monzetsu hikô: Nikushin leans on a strong ensemble — Yuka Asagiri, Jizeru Gōda, Mayumi Minato — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1980.
