The trailer for the feel-good teen drama movie "Umi no Ue no Kimi wa, Itsumo Egao." (You are always smiling, when you are on the sea.) starring Tanimura Mitsuki is out now. Wrapped in a typical road movie, it includes themes like environmental protection along the Kanagawa coast as well as youth programs in Fujisawa and Chigasaki.

Tanmiura Mitsuki plays an always positive 17-years old high school student and basketball player named Migiwa who is even going to become the captain of her school's basketball team in the next term. She has a secret crush on a boy named Riku (Sakurada Dori) and when he asks her if she surfs, she lies without thinking and says that she does. After that Migiwa has no other choice but to begin practicing on her own in order to cover for her lie. However, she then gets surprised by a wave and her surfboard, an important memento from her older brother drifts away. Panicked, she hops on her bike and pedals around the coastal area of Shonan looking for anywhere it may have washed up. On her travel she meets various people and experiences some personal growth.

It's slated for release in Japan on May 9th.

Here the trailer:
