Introduction

Hiroshi Shoji's feature directorial debut, based on his eponymous 2011 short. Partners in crime Ken and Kazu use an auto repair shop to sell drugs and make money. When Ken's girlfriend Saki gets pregnant, he does his best to go straight. But Kazu makes a dangerous move, and Ken comes to draw the attention of the local Yakuza boss and is slowly driven into a corner. Obsession, sense of indebtedness, connection and future is portrayed against the backdrop of drug dealings in the underworld. Leading actors Shinsuke Kato and Katsuya Maiguma's impassioned performances, as well as supporting actors' intense sense of presence are worthy of note.
