"Kenichi never expected that a high school prank would become his generation's defining protest. In 1969 Japan, two bored students invent a fake activist group, accidentally sparking a real campus revolution. This 2004 dramedy, based on true events, explores youthful rebellion, media manipulation, and the absurd line between farce and history. A sharp, funny look at how a lie can sometimes tell the most honest truth."

Director Lee Sang-il balances situational comedy with nostalgic drama, framing the era's spirit through adolescent rebellion. The film thrives on the young cast's energy and a light, almost documentary-like shooting style.
It's for viewers who appreciate coming-of-age tales with historical texture. You'll feel a blend of irony and wistful melancholy for lost youth and naive ideals. — MovieFinder Editorial
