About Over the Fence
A recently divorced and traumatized man moves to Hakodate, Hokkaido and attends a vocational college to learn carpentry along with several other students who are in the same boat as he. When a couple of the guys go to a hostess club the man meets an unconventional girl who likes him and a relationship is born.
Directed by Nobuhiro Yamashita, Over the Fence leans on a strong ensemble — Joe Odagiri, Yu Aoi, Shota Matsuda — 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 2016.
