Details

When his father flees from debt, carefree college student Osamu sees his life turn upside-down. Expelled from school and evicted from his apartment, he becomes one of Japan’s many ‘net cafe refugees’, barely scraping by each day with temporary and part-time work. Even though he’s still in Tokyo, his circumstances drive him to see and experience his home city in new ways. Trying to survive, Osamu gradually acquaints himself with the ‘invisible’ spaces occupied by the wanderers and homeless of Tokyo… people just like himself.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
