In the small and boring port city of Mitsuhama, Japan, the brothers Taira and Shouta, abandoned by their parents, live alone in a shipyard by the sea. Taira is addicted to fighting and often gets into fights with other students from the area. When he loses a fight and is beaten up, he choses to leave the city instead of dealing with defeat. While Shouta searches for clues on his brother whereabouts, Taira begins a violent journey through the streets in search of new rivals, always driven by his obsession with victory. Will he ever stop fighting? Locarno Film Festival 2016.
