[ Story ]
Feature-length film debut for filmmaker-cum-artist Sora Neo. The coming-of-age story explores the fragility of friendship.
Set in a Japanese city XX years in the future. Best buddies Yuta (Kurihara Hayato) and Kou (Hidaka Yukito) spend their days making music and goofing around with their friends. One night as high school graduation approaches, the two sneak into school and pull off an outrageous prank. The principal is incensed when he discovered the prank the next day, and the situation escalates to the point where the school implements an AI system to monitor students around the clock.
