![]() ![]() Growing up, I knew someone in my life who shows great similarity to Nikuko. I’m eager to see if this film goes in that direction as well. Now, I’ve come to realize just how important it is to be yourself unapologetically, no matter how weird or bold it may seem. My entire life I was always the odd one out taken advantage of, made fun of, talked about, etc, when all I wanted was to fit in. When I think about these characters, I feel like I am the perfect marriage of both Kikuko and Nikuko’s characters. It’s hard enough trying to fit in, especially in middle school when you are going through your own personal changes and navigating self-discovery. Life in the harbor is peaceful until a shocking revelation from the past threatens to uproot the pair’s tender relationship. In contrast to her mother, Kikuko wants nothing more than to fit in as she navigates the everyday social dramas of middle school. Brash single mother Nikuko is well-known for her bold spirit, much to the embarrassment of Kikuko, her pensive yet imaginative daughter. Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko is about an unconventional family and the bonds that they share in their sleepy seaside town.
