Suspense Psychological | Mystery
In Tokyo a college studentโs discovery and eventual obsession with a stolen handgun awakens something dark inside him and threatens to consume not only his life but also his humanity. Nakamuraโs Japanese debut is a noir-spun tale that probes the violence inherent to aesthetics. On a nighttime walk along a Tokyo riverbank, a young man named Nishikawa stumbles on a dead body, beside which lies a gun. From the moment Nishikawa decides to take the gun, the world around him blurs. Knowing he possesses the weapon brings an intoxicating sense of purpose to his dull university life. But soon Nishikawaโs personal entanglements become unexpectedly complicated: he finds himself romantically involved with two women while his biological father, whom heโs never met, lies dying in a hospital. Through it all, he canโt stop thinking about the gunโand the four bullets loaded in its chamber. As he spirals into obsession, his focus is consumed by one idea: that possessing the gun is no longer enoughโhe must fire it.
