Nippon Cinema ª
18-year-old Taira regularly provokes strangers into fist fights. He is soon joined by high schooler Yuya, who pushes him towards ever more senseless acts of violence. This uncompromising film paints an extremely pessimistic image of Japanese society, where aimless youths lose themselves in a spiral of violence while being cheered on by the media.
