## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A professor’s ultimatum forces a college senior into sumo, against all common sense. He and a ragtag team train half-heartedly for a rival bout that hardly matters, yet somehow becomes everything. If they show up, they might salvage a club; if they skip, they’ll still eat ramen together.

**Mood tags**: cozy, playful, uplifting
