Taira, an unnervingly quiet delinquent teen, mysteriously leaves town right before the coming of age festival. His disappearance doesn t worry anyone except for younger brother Shota, his only remaining family, who sets off to look for him amidst the faded downtown neon lights. Taira aimlessly wanders through a nearby city, provoking fights with random bystanders. His violent streak intrigues high schooler Yuya who rallies him to beat up more people. As the night progresses, street-side scuffles soon turn into a sinister game, becoming even more mindless and indiscriminate.... The two leave behind a trail of blood and mass confusion. Indie director Tetsuya Mariko brings us a deceptive piece of cinema which begins like a slice-of-life story and then takes an abrupt plunge into a pit of moral ambiguity. It stars award-winning actors Yuya Yagira (Nobody Knows) and Masaki Suda (The Light Shines Only There, Princess Jellyfish) in one of their best performances in Japanese cinema this year. [show more]

Tetsuya Mariko co-writes and directs this violent Japanese drama. The film follows a pair of brothers on very different paths. Teenager Taira Ashihara (Yûya Yagira) leaves town just before the coming of age festival and embarks on a journey of self-destruction, picking fights with whoever he meets and taking a beating along the way. As he continues down this path of violence, Taira is joined by youngster Yuya Kitahara (Masaki Suda) who, although cowardly at first, soon finds himself drawn in by the chaos of Taira's mindless rampage. Meanwhile, Shota (Nijiro Murakami) hopelessly searches for his violent brother Taira.
