Chorus girls Polly, Carol and Trixie are ecstatic when they learn that Broadway producer Barney Hopkins is putting on a new show. He promises all of the girls parts in the new show and even hires their neighbor Brad Roberts, an unknown composer, to write some of the music. There's only one problem: he doesn't have the money to bankroll it all. That problem is solved when Brad turns out to be quite rich but he insists that he not perform. When opening night comes, the juvenile lead can't go on forcing Brad to take the stage. He's recognized of course and his upper crust family wants him to quit. When he refuses, they tell him to end his relationship with Polly or face having his income cut off. When Brad's snobbish brother Lawrence mistakes Carol for Polly, the girls decide to have a bit of fun and teach him a lesson.。喧嚣都市的一隅,单身妈妈琴子(Cocco 饰)和尚在襁褓中的儿子大二郎独自居住在一间老旧的公寓中。相当长的一段时间内,琴子备受精神问题的困扰,凡是在她眼前出现的人都会变成两个,她分不清哪个是真哪个是假,神经恐惧脆弱到了极限。只有当她唱歌时,眼前的幻象才暂时消失。而与此同时,对大二郎的过分担忧与保护又让琴子的精神状况愈加恶化,最终她不得不面对与儿子分别的命运。某天,琴子邂逅貌不惊人的小说家田中清太郎(冢本晋也饰)。清太郎醉心于琴子的歌声,对她展开大胆的追求。面对眼前这个悲观绝望、朝向自毁的女子,田中用尽各种方法去温暖、治愈琴子千疮百孔的心…… 本片荣获2011年威尼斯电影节地平线单元大奖。。
