Synopsis
The threat of a catastrophic earthquake threatens the city of Tokyo. In this uncertain day-to-day, two friends about to graduate from high school play a practical joke on the principal, prompting the installation of surveillance cameras. After filming the heartfelt tribute to his father with Ryūichi Sakamoto: Opus (D’A 2024), Neo Sora now signs a great dystopia about two young people fighting against social control.
