Thermae Romae II


Thermae Romae is back!  It's a comic-SF movie about a bath-house arhitect/designer Lucius (played by Abe Hiroshi) in the Roman Empire.  He travels ahead of time and goes to the present day Japanese hot springs and bath houses, and recreates them in the Roman Empire.  Bath houses designed by him immediately become popular among the Roman citizens.

(continued)

Ueto Aya plays Manami, Lucius's sidekick, who shows him Japanese bath houses and gives him guidance.

It's a fun movie, you can't miss.  Both I and II are highly recommended.
