Based on a true-life incident in 2014, a 5-year old boy was found decomposed in the apartment complex where his parents were supposed to live with him. Having known only three words at the time of his death, the incident caused a firestorm of controversy in the country as various groups try to forget the incident. However, director Naoyoshi Kawamatsu takes the incident to the forefront of the country’s consciousness by retelling it, in his latest short film.
After spotting a strange kid putting the trash out in front of his apartment, young Miyako (Noriko Kijima) decides to investigate him when she fails to see any adult nearby. Learning that the kid, Riku (Riku Oishi) doesn’t have any connection to the fabled apartment, she tries to help him but ends up stumbling upon a far more deadly situation than she imagined.
For the most part, there was a lot to like with this short.
