Growing up in a turbulent household in Japan, Kazu dreams of escape. Raised by a distant, irresponsible father and a mother living with schizophrenia, Kazu learned to use humor to heal her wounds and process her trauma. In school she was frequently considered the “class clown,” an identity at odds with Japanese societal norms for women and girls. Despite the odds, she discovers her voice and sense of purpose in comedy. Kazu delivers a one-two punch of wry observation, and raw physicality in this exuberant, rebellious ride.
