充滿東瀛趣味神怪版《艾蜜莉的異想世界》

純情護士麗莎，平日除了貼身看護行動不便的老太太，就是和幻想中的70 年代日本偶像歌手談天說地。30歲生日這天，她決定將腦中的浪漫化為行動，出去尋找真愛。就在她短暫外出時，老太太竟意外身亡。平常不聞不問的家屬們以為麗莎謀財害命而報警處理，卻查無犯罪事實，但此後跟麗莎交往的人，也都一一死於非命，讓迷戀日本文化的她忍不住懷疑自己就是傳說中帶來厄運的「狐仙」，只有無私的真愛才能化解悲慘的宿命。問題是誰的八字硬到足以剋除她身上的詛咒呢？

This playful, genre-bending black comedy takes place in a fictionalized 1970s Hungary and follows Liza, a bright young nurse who works in a small town sanatorium. She loves all things Japanese and studies the language with Marta, a patient who happened to be married to the consulate of Japan. She even has an imaginary friend -- Tony Tani, a Japanese Frank Sinatra type -- who often appears to Liza, dancing and singing for her. There’s one thing that’s bringing Liza down however, and it’s her bad luck with men. When she also begins seeing an evil shape-shifting Japanese spirit known as a fox-fairy, a demon known to suck the souls of out men, she thinks maybe her bad luck might have something to do with it. Could Liza be a fox-fairy herself? Blending Japanese folklore with Amelie-inspired artistic direction, this dark fairytale delivers touches of whimsy and a large helping of Hungarian intensity and humor.
