🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Yuya Ishii crafts a peculiar, hypnotic microcosm where a documentary assignment becomes a lens for observing human nature in all its awkward glory. The film oscillates between adolescent curiosity and near-anthropological study of urban rituals.

Director: Yûki Kumagai
