Film made during a tour of Japan by the pop band Frank Chickens (a Japanese band based in the UK since the early 1980s). We start with the marriage of leading band member Kazuko Hohki to her boyfriend, record producer Grant Showbiz. Through a series of interviews, principly with fellow band member Chika Nakagawa, we see the different attitudes to marriage in modern Japan. We also get a fascinating glimpse of Kazuko's mother: an eccentric priestess of her own religion who also sang and told jokes. Kazuko has been touring the UK and Europe with a one-women multimedia show about the life of her mother ("Toothless") since the late 1990s.
