Synopsis

When the competition between three rival candy companies becomes cutthroat, one company, World Caramels, finds an unsophisticated teenage girl with bad teeth as their new spokesperson. Unexpectedly, she’s an overnight star and becomes as ruthless and underhanded as the company’s top executives.

MUBI's take

As stylish and treacherous as the sexy world of Mad Men, Yasuzô Masumura’s candy-colored satire of 1950s corporate Japan is a delectable confection with a bitter aftertaste. In an increasingly consumerist nation where friends become foes and innocence is corrupted, all that glitters is not gold.
