Synopsis

Daisuke, a Japanese guy, takes a driving test in America. Unfortunately, the American examiner seems to be very strange. He praises the big breasts of pretty Japanese girls, calls Daisuke all sorts of names, and disappears without saying a word. This comic short film depicts Daisuke’s pathetic and patient effort to obtain driver’s license. (YI Sul)
