Based on a novel by Sato Yasushi, Oh Mipo’s award-winning drama reaches for a light in the dark with the bleak tale of broken young people stuck in dead end lives. Since experiencing a traumatic incident at work, Tatsuo (Ayano Go) has been passing his days in aimless stupor. He befriends by chance an impulsive young ex- convict (Suda Masaki) and his long-suffering older sister Chinatsu (Ikewaki Chizuru), who sells herself to support her decrepit family. In each other, Tatsuo and Chinatsu find a glimmer of hope and solace, and perhaps the courage to start anew, but it’s not so easy to break out of the impoverishing cycle of abuse and apathy.
