Live action film debut for the popular voice actress Park Romi, whose extensive work in anime includes Fullmetal Alchemist. She delivers an impassioned performance as a single mother who gets sucked into a cult. Directed by Yoshino Ryuhei, who got his start as a lighting technician. Selected for the Japanese Eyes program at the 25th Tokyo International Film Festival 2012.
Suburban resident Sonobe Keiko (Park) becomes emotionally unhinged when her husband vanishes, and throws herself into proselytizing for a cult. As a result, her son Tamotsu (Aren) gets bullied at school. Tamotsu still sticks by his mother's side, only to be visited by yet another ordeal.
