Tatsuya becomes a famous entrepreneur thanks to the success of his webtoon app. Neglecting friends and family, he throws himself into succeeding. One day, something dreadful happens to him, his genitals disappear. When not even doctors can find the cause, he finds a message about a meeting in a community he comes across. The community is for those like Tatsuya who have lost their genitals. When they explain that if he can’t find the genitals named ‘Popran’ soon, they will disappear forever, he sets out to find them. Popran is a new film from Ueda Shinichiro, director of One Cut of the Dead (2017) and Special Actors (2019). The protagonist in this ridiculous situation realizes the value of the relationship with people he has forgotten or missed as he runs around solving problems in crazy situations, which has become his own stamp as he makes more films. Unmissable laughter and lasting impressions make the film shine more. (Martin LEE)
