Late Bloomer (2008)

Synopsis:

Despite his physical limitations–and contrary to cultural misconceptions about the handicapped–Sumida-san has all of the desires and personality traits of a physically normal man. Specifically, he loves to party, eat good food, and ‘rock out’ to his caregiver Take’s hardcore band. However, Sumida-san’s life begins falling apart when he develops a crush on his new occasional caregiver, Nobuko. Needless to say, the feelings are not reciprocated and when Nobuko starts spending her free time with Take, Sumida-san is driven mad with desire and frustration and things take a turn for the worse.
