[ Story ]

The first in a two-part film adaptation boldly recreating the backdrop of playwright, Terayama Shuji's one and only full length novel. Set in 2020 after the Tokyo Olympics, it perceptively depicts the soul of people living in a nook of the metropolis and stars Suda Masaki of Teiichi: Battle of Supreme High and Yang Ik-june of Breathless.
Shinji (Suda) and Barikan (Yang) met completely by accident. Opposites both in appearance and attitude, but similarly lonely, they aspire to become professional boxers who train with Katame (Yusuke Santamaria) at the boxing gym.
