PRACTICE

Routine becomes painful for a young sumo wrestler who can't make his opponent budge. Shot on location at a sumo wrestling school in Tokyo, Practice follows a young wrestler matched against another, more senior wrestler over the course of one practice session. At a considerable disadvantage, both in bodily mass and skill, he becomes physically exhausted, repeating his painfully futile attempt to knock down his opponent.

This film is screened together with Shimotsuma monogatari.
