From Hitoshi One, director of Moteki and Bakuman
Unfolding in the two weeks following a casual party at the home of the overbearing Koji, nine 20-something Japanese revellers with long, deeply entwined histories navigate the secrets and lies of contemporary relationships. Touching on issues of self-respect, emotional manipulation, casual viciousness, petty interpersonal politicking, dependency, insecurity, infidelity and misogyny, director Hitoshi One’s (Moteki – Love Strikes) satire is as dark as it is soapy with unfortunately recognisable characters with recognisable human flaws.

FAQs
Conversations among young teenagers and twenty somethings can often be assumed to be the focus of French films, American mumblecore, and coming of age tales around the world. On the way to current day successes in feature films and streaming series, Hitoshi One here provided an unflinching and raw insight into Japanese youth culture. The budget is kept low by having the conversations in bedrooms but this choice also grounds the characters in reality. An underappreciated character study in independent Japanese cinema of the 21st century.
