DOUBLE TROUBLE (2008)

It's December 30, and everyone is milling about. But the "incident" that rocked this small town began with a single phone call.
"Hello, Mitama Cultural Center. Yes, you're calling to confirm your concert, correct? That's right. Mitama Chorus Girls. tomorrow evening at 7pm. All set. we'll see you then."
Thus the cultural center's director confidently replies to the caller. But just a moment later, he realizes that they are hardly "all set"! There's the "Mitama Chorus Girls" and "The Mitama Ladies' Chorus": two similar-sounding names were confused bythis hapless director. Of all things, his mismanagement has led to a double-booking on New Year's Eve!

Neither group will budge an inch. The director, who had always enjoyed stability in both his work and private lives, becomes flustered in the face of the ladies' passion for their choral groups. On top of that, his marriage hits a rocky patch, his bar tab is up for payment, and his whole life is turned upside-down. With this catastrophe on New Year's Eve, what will our director's fate be? And what of the "mamas" who have practiced their hearts out for this night?
