## Synopsis

After dropping out and running away to Tokyo, a furious teenager crosses paths with a former guitarist whose own musical hopes have stalled. Their uneasy connection leads toward a band, but playing together does not make its members instantly compatible. Frustration follows them into rehearsals and arguments keep exposing what each person would rather hide. Music becomes the place where their clashing impulses can take a usable shape. Girls Band Cry follows these outcasts as they test whether a group built from raw nerves can become a real source of belonging, without sanding down the anger that brought them together.
