Kick-off Ann Arbor Japan Week 2025 with a free screening of the animated film "Lu Over the Wall" at the Michigan Theater!

In this film, Kai is talented but adrift, spending his days sulking in a small fishing village after his family moves from Tokyo. When his classmates invite him to play the keyboard in their band, their practice sessions bring an unexpected guest: Lu, a young mermaid whose singing causes humans to dance compulsively, whether they want to or not. As Kai spends more time with Lu, he finds he is able to tell her what he is really thinking, and a bond begins to form.
