Masaaki Yuasa takes a twelve-minute window and fills it so completely with color, movement, and pure visual invention that you forget the plot is basically nonexistent. A nun and a wrestler fall in love through ritualized violence, and instead of treating that as weird, the film treats it as the most natural thing in the world. The animation doesn't just support the story; it IS the story, every frame bent and twisted into something that could only exist in this medium, for this director, in this moment.

Romeo Maki is a successful professional wrestler with a secret: he enjoys taking a beating in the ring. By day he is a respectable man who brings gifts to the local orphanage, where Juliet has just started working as a nun. By night the two become Masked Man M and Lady S, popular wrestlers, and Juliet feels invigorated whenever she faces an opponent. When the pair meet in the ring, the only place they can let their hidden desires out, sparks fly. Set in the colorful world of pro wrestling, this romantic sports comedy film asks whether Juliet will reveal her true identity to the man she loves, and whether Romeo can share his secret with the world.
