Hometown Stories - Season 6 Episode 6 The Calligraphy Boys
In Japan, where calligraphy is mainly a girls' pastime, a group of students at an all-boys school belongs to a calligraphy club. Classmates call them nerds, and have labeled them "gloomy characters". To turn things around, their leader comes up with an idea: Become the first all-male team to enter a competition for "performance calligraphy", a mix of brush writing, dance and pop music. We follow the boys' quest to break out of their shells and take on a new challenge.
