Cast: Sakai Masato, Takeuchi Yuko, Yoshioka Hidetaka
In this adaptation of Isaka Kotaro's award-winning novel, a young courier, Aoyagi, is framed for the assassination of the Prime Minister of Japan. Director Nakamura takes a step back from comedy (Fish Story, 33rd HKIFF) for this old school paranoid thriller where the hero doesn't know who to trust and threats lurk around every corner. Nakamura's third collaboration with Isaka rolls a serial killer and an old flame among others into a taut race to prove one man's innocence.
