| Synopsis
Secret Society tells the story of Daisy, twenty years old and plump as a dumpling, and her adoring (and unemployed) husband Ken. Struggling financially, Daisy finds a job in a canning factory where she notices that her boss Marlene, radiant and heavy-set, grants special privileges to a group of equally chubby female factory workers. Soon Daisy learns that the women are part of a "secret society" of
sumo wrestlers who are gaining strength and self-confidence by learning how
to love - and use - their large bodies. When Ken discovers his wife has joined
the group, Daisy must choose between the life she has always known and the possibility
of achieving something extraordinary. Reviews "Utterly charming and big-hearted!" - New York Post "The best foreign import since Billy Elliot!" - Gay City News Disc Features ● Behind the Scenes Footage
