SYNOPSIS

The two brothers Taira and Shouta live in a port town, Mitsuhama. Taira often fights with students, but he disappears after being beaten up. Taira appears in Matsuyama, the largest city in the area and looking for guys to fight with. Fascinated by Taira, Yuya persuades him to “have some fun” for Destruction.

DIRECTING INTENTION

Inspired by true stories of a man whom I actually met with. The project starts from a simple
question why people cannot stop violence. I rewrite the story with an eye simply looking at
the violence itself without denying or justifying it.
