Urita has a profound love of boxing but lacks talent. Kazuki is his underling who has a shot at the title match, and Chika is Urita’s childhood friend who dates Kazuki. Their emotions remain hidden away as the big fight approaches…

This drama uses the unforgiving sport of boxing to cast a kind gaze on human life that has no clear winner. Yoshida Keisuke's splendid direction exudes emotions that are kept hidden, and audiences will undoubtedly be profoundly moved by Urita’s emotional state as portrayed by the famed young actor Matsuyama Kenichi.

An artist talk with the director Keisuke Yoshida is planned after the screening.

The Japanese-German Centre Berlin is pleased to present this film as part of the "Japanese Film Festival Special World Tour 2024" organized by the Japan Foundation
