- Synopsis:
Yuichi (Satoshi Tsumabuki) is a construction worker who has lived his entire life in a dreary fishing village. With no girlfriend or friends, he spends his days working and looking after his grandparents, with no enjoyment in life other than his car. Meanwhile, Mitsuyo (Eri Fukatsu) also lives a monotonous life pacing between the men's clothing store where she works and the apartment where she lives with her sister. When the two lonely souls meet using an online dating site, they immediately fall in love with each other. But there's a secret Yuichi had been keeping from Mitsuyo: Yuichi is the one suspected of killing the woman whose body was found at Mitsue Pass only a few days before... As Yuichi and his new lover try to elude the police, the events that led up to the murder and its aftermath are revealed.

Slightly flawed but thought provoking - Villain review by AP
Japanese films always punch hard and this one certainly gets you to question who is the actual villain of the piece. It kept me guessing right up until the end, questioning what was unraveling . It's s far from perfect film but it's more intelligent than most Hollywood thrillers - give it a go and decide for yourself.
