About Boy Sprouted
A boy who can't eat a tomato was pushed by his mother to overcome his least favorite. When he swallowed it, something sprouted from his own body. The boy doubted the tomato he ate and visited a tomato farm to find out what happened to him. There he met a scary farmer and ran away. The mother still tries to make her son able to eat a tomato. This script was generated from AI, shot by alumnus of the national film school as a cutting-edge R&D project.
Directed by Yûko Watanabe, Boy Sprouted leans on a strong ensemble — Hara Seitaro, Kanako Higashi, Kenji Iwaya — 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 fantasy titles of 2022.
