The latest irreverent black comedy from Uchida Eiji (Greatful Dead, Lowlife Love) is a wild tale of gangs, cult religion and love in backwater Japan. Touching on such social issues as child neglect, teenage delinquency and the sex industry, it is centered on the the lives of marginalized teens Ryota and Ai (Ito Sairi) as they struggle to escape their rotten world. Ryota wants a normal life, only to fall in love with Ai and follow her down deeper and seedier paths. Ai has fended for herself from an early age, drifting from a neglectful mother to an oddball cult, with a brief attempt at normal school before bouncing from a druggie dropout community to a middle-class family. Among the strong, young leads (including a bunch of Sono Sion regulars), are some real local delinquents, creating a unique situation where the film had to be shot under police supervision.
