BOYS OVER FLOWERS - THE MOVIE

The story takes place four years after high school, and Tsukasa has just proposed to Tsukushi on national television. When Tsukushi and Tsukasa are alone in Tsukushi's cavernous hotel suite, a thief brazenly breaks in and steals the tiara right from under their noses. Tsukasa gives chase, but the thief is too quick and wily - and has powerful, unseen allies. After failing to grab him at the hotel, Tsukasa gets word that the thief and tiara are in Las Vegas. Together he and a determined Tsukushi fly to America - and the start of a strange and dangerous, if giddily romantic, adventure that leads to Hong Kong and other exotic locales. His best buddies lend their support, though Tsukushi begins to suspect one, the tall, silky smooth Rui Hanazawa, of being in cahoots with the bad guys.
