Story

The story of a former yakuza's struggles to be accepted by society, even as he tries to live an earnest life.

Mikami, a former yakuza, is released from prison after serving a 13-year sentence. He is determined to live an earnest life but has trouble finding a job. He wants to acquire a driver’s license but lacks the money to do so and his short temper also keeps getting in the way. Will Mikami go back to his old yakuza ways or will he be able to find his footing in society? A humanistic drama that poses the question of whether human beings can change themselves, whilst boldly depicting the stark realities of an intolerant contemporary society. Koji Yakusho, who plays the lead role, is one of the most famous actors currently active in Japan. He performs the role of a fiercely emotional man trying to reform himself with such ease that this brilliant performance is sure to become one of his greatest works. Director Miwa Nishikawa is one of the leading female directors in Japan whose new works continue to be highly anticipated around the world.
