Trailer
The threat of a catastrophic earthquake pervades daily life in a near-future Tokyo, where two rabble-rousing best friends are about to graduate high school. One night, they pull a prank on their principal, which leads to a surveillance system being installed in their school. Stuck between the oppressive security system and a darkening national political situation, the two students respond in contrasting ways, leading them to face differences they never had to face before. Orizzonti Venice 2024.
