Dancing Mita

Mita (Amane Okayama) wanted to become a videographer in Tokyo, but he failed to achieve his dream. He is now back in his hometown and works in the tourist division at city hall. Manabe (Rena Takeda) works with Mita in the tourism division. One day, town chief Maruyama (Yuichi Nakamura) gives an order to Mita. The order is to revitalize the town within 2 weeks. Mita decides to make a promotion video of the town.

Directed by Toshimitsu Iizuka, Dancing Mita leans on a strong ensemble — Amane Okayama, Konatsu Kato, Yuichi Nakamura — 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 2020.
