Synopsis

Just about any pig would adapt pretty easily to the presence of a fly, but for Hubert, who aspires to becoming the archetype of the modern, clean-cut guy, Takako is messing up his plans! This deliciously out-of-control fly is that little glitch in Hubert's well oiled cogs. Worst, she accepts him just the way he is. But isn't that what true friendship is all about?
